Abstract

Rb-Sr measurements point to an Eburnian age (around 2150 million years) for the granites and tourmaline pegmatites in the Kamativi area, southern Rhodesia. From Rb-Sr and K-Ar mineral dates it is evident that a tectonothermal event affected the area in Kibaran time, about 970 million years ago; the emplacement of the tin-bearing pegmatites was probably connected with this event
