Outline of the Geological History of the N’Changa District, Northern Rhodesia

Abstract

The geological succession of the rocks of the N’Changa District is so typical of that of the Northern Rhodesia Copper Belt as a whole, and indeed of much of the Colony of Northern Rhodesia, that it is felt that a summary of the sequence of events which together make up the geological history of the district may serve as a contribution to the geological literature of the general Northern Rhodesian field. For a fuller account of the details of the petrography and mineragraphy of the rocks and ores of the N’Changa District reference should be made to Bancroft and Pelletier (1929), and Jackson (1932).
