| description |
In order to fill the glaring gaps in the geological data
for the Mbanga region and surrounding area, in the Province of
Kongo-Central in DR Congo, geological investigations were carried
out in the field over a three-week period. The results obtained,
coupled with those from the laboratory, led to the identification
of eight different lithofacies in the study area, namely:
metaryolites, sericite schists and biotitose schists, all with
grey to greenish grey facies. This work consists of a detailed
petrographic study to identify the different facies of the West
Congo Supergroup belonging to the Mayumbian Group and the Zadinian
Group. The geology of the Mbanga sector and its surroundings is
made up of metamorphic layers of volcanic and sedimentary origin.
The various rock formations in our study area are grouped into two
West Congo Supergroup groups; the metarhyolite formation belongs
to the Tshela/Seke-Banza Group (Mayumbian) and the others belong
to the Matadi Group (Zadinian). |
