Abstract
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. Citation of the map: Thiéblemont D. (edit.) et al. - Geological Map of Africa at 1:10 M scale, CGMW-BRGM 2016. ISBN: 9782917310328. doi: 10.14682/2016GEOAFR. Pinted map is available at CGMW (www.cgmw.org) and BRGM (www.brgm.fr).
