Timing and kinematics of the Colenso Fault: The early Paleozoic shift from collisional to extensional tectonics in the Pan-African Saldania Belt, South Africa

Abstract

The Colenso fault is a major northwest to southeast trending fault zone in the Pan-African Saldania Belt of the Western Cape Province in South Africa that is spatially closely associated with granitoids of the ∼550 to 510 Ma Cape Granite Suite. Most of
