The isotopically juvenile Tugela terrane, part of the Grenvillian Natal belt, southeastern Africa consists of a heterogeneous assemblage of regionally metamorphosed (upper amphibolite facies) mafic and felsic rocks. The Tugela terrane is divisible on the basis of lithology and structural style, from...
