Seismic Stratigraphy of Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic Cover of the Kaapvaal Craton

The Kaapvaal Craton, one of the best preserved of all Archean cratons, is partially covered by remnants<br>of Archean to Paleoproterozoic supracrustal sequences of the Witwatersrand, Ventersdorp and<br>Transvaal (and correlated Griqualand West) basins which span almost a billion years (~3.1 to 2.2 Ga).<br>The cratonic basement, which formed and stabilised between 3.7 and 2.7 Ga, comprises a mosaic of<br>subdomains that amalgamated by tectonic processes (de Wit et al., 1992).
