“…Indeed, the orientations of the thrust planes and the northwest verging nappes (Peduase nappe piles) rather reflect a primary N302-02 σ1 paleostress axis (Figure 7(b)), which is superposable on the main paleostress of Dn+3 phase (Table 2). Far from supporting the results of [46], suggesting a NE-SW Dahomeyide nappe piling, this conclusion seems to contradict the suggestion that nappe stacking in northern Togo took place along an ENE-WSW axis [10,13]. At a regional scale ( Figures 3 and 4), it is striking that the southern segment of the Dahomeyide Belt is not in conformity with the submeridian appearance of the whole orogeny.…”

“…Alguns trabalhos específicos de vários geólogos nesta última década, voltados para o arcabouço geral (e. g. Trompette, 1994; Caby e co-autores, em vários trabalhos sumulados em Caby, 1998;Castaing et al, 1993;Ledru et al, 1994) e outros com forte contribuição geocronológica (e. g. Bruguier et al, 1994;Toteu et al, 1994;Van Schmus et al, 1995;Dada, 1998;Toteu et al, 2000;etc.) constituem subsídios encorajadores de uma revisão no tema.…”

“…These rocks are also exposed in the Amalaoulaou complex to the north in the Gourma fold and thrust belt in Mali (Berger et al, 2011) and shares comparable geochemical, metamorphic and tectonic evolution to the rocks of the Dahomeyides to the south in Benin, Togo and Ghana. Figure1 is a geologic map of the Dahomeyide orogen in southeastern Ghana, and adjoining parts of southern Togo and Benin (Sylvain et al, 1986, Castaing et al, 1993Attoh et al, Fig. 1.…”
