Extract

The Post-Karagwe-Ankolean Granite occupies very extensive areas in South-Western Uganda and has been emplaced within two systems of sedimentary rocks. These, in order of age, are known as the Toro System and the Karagwe-Ankolean System. In their structural relations towards the granite, the two systems show striking differences one from the other, a feature which provides interesting evidence relating to the “granite problem” on a regional scale and, in addition, throws light on certain aspects of Pre-Cambrian stratigraphy.
