Complex high strain deformation in the Usagaran Orogen, Tanzania: structural setting of Palaeoproterozoic eclogites

The Palaeoproterozoic Usagaran orogenic belt of Tanzania contains the Earth's oldest reported examples of subduction-related eclogite facies rocks. Detailed field mapping of gneisses exposed in the high-grade, eclogite-bearing part of the orogen (the Isimani Suite) indicates a complex deformati...
