Abstract

Gabbro is intruded near the contact of gneiss and schist groups in the Southern Province of Northern Rhodesia. The petrography of normal and altered rocks is described. The rocks may have originated as an intrusion into an original reversed drag fold which it has emphasized and distorted. Intrusion took place at a late stage of regional metamorphism and folding.
