Chemostratigraphic correlation and Pb-Pb dating of carbonate sequences in the external Gariep belt and Kango inlier of the Saldania belt in Namibia and South Africa

Worldwide most Neoproterozoic sequences are characterised by an intimate association of glaciogenic diamictite with marine carbonate deposits, indicating possibly rapid climatic changes from icehouse to greenhouse conditions. Such sequences also occur in the Pan-African Gariep Belt and in the Kango inlier of the Saldania Belt in Namibia and South Africa. Correlation of these sequences with others has been problematic because of poor age control, structural complications and poor exposure in the Saldania Belt.
