A stable isotope study of the Kaap Valley Tonalite, Barberton Mountain Land, South Africa

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The Kaap Valley Tonalite (KVT) was a homogenous hornblende+ biotite tonalite that had been subjected to overail propylitic and potassic alteration. Petrographic studies reveal that carbonate alteration and increased proportions of hydrous minerals occur along the KVT and Barberton greenstone belt contact zone, and along major shear zones within the KVT.
