Crustal structure Kaapvaal Craton

The Vredefort dome represents a unique, upturned section through —36 km of crust of the Kaapvaal craton, possibly exposing a paleo-Moho at its base (Hart et al., 1981, 1990 Tredoux et al., 1999 Moser et al., 2001). The origin of this structure is debated, but one likely scenario is that it was produced by crustal rebound following...
