The timing of the Cape Orogeny: New 40Ar/39Ar age constraints on deformation and cooling of the Cape Fold Belt, South Africa

We conducted a 40Ar/39Ar thermochronological study of samples from three transects across the Cape Fold Belt of South Africa. Metamorphic conditions along these transects decrease from the greenschist facies in the southern hinterland to the anchizonal foreland to the north. Nine new 40Ar/39Ar plate...
