AFR CGMW-BRGM 1:10M Geological units

This 1:10M-scale geological map of Africa was prepared at the French Geological Survey (BRGM) for the 35th International Geological Congress (2016) using the main documents as follows: “Geology and major ore deposits of Africa at 1:10 M scale” (2004); “Geological map of Africa at 1:5 M scale” (1985-1990); “Tectonic map of Africa at 1:10M scale” (2010); the most recent national geological maps when available; regional syntheses (e.g. Tuareg shield, East African Rift). The chronostratigraphy as represented on the continental areas of the map refer to the latest version (v2016/04) of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart published by the International Commission on Stratigraphy - www.stratigraphy.org.
