摘要

The Saw Mill Complex (SMC) is a 1 275 m thick layered komatiitic sequence in the 3.3 Ga Weltevreden Formation, uppermost stratigraphic unit of the Onverwacht Group in the northern part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa. A series of ultramafic complexes in the Weltevreden Formation have previously been interpreted as layered ultramafic intrusions, consisting of thick, layered ultramafic units of peridotite, pyroxenite, dunite, and gabbro. However, recent work on the Pioneer complex of the Weltevreden Formation has demonstrated an extrusive origin of komatiitic flows and tuffs. The Weltevreden Formation has not been studied in the detail of other Onverwacht Group units, but it is likely composed of a number of individual tectonically juxtaposed terrains brought in by thrust faulting during deposition of Fig Tree Group sediments and felsic volcanics in a magmatic arc setting post-dating the Onverwacht mafic and ultramafic units, which are currently regarded as products of plume-based eruptive centers. This study represents an ongoing effort to elucidate the structure, stratigraphy, and petrogenesis of the Weltevreden Formation. A new 1:1000 scale map and stratigraphic section of the SMC reinterpret the igneous complex as extrusive, with lithologic units interpreted as layered komatiitic flows and interbedded tuffs. Flows accumulated olivine, forming distinct layers from bottom to top of: olivine adcumulate (dunitic lithologies), ·poikilitic orthopyroxene with abundant olivine inclusions (pyroxenitic lithologies), and ·olivine orthocumulate (peridotitic lithologies), and sometimes with a cap of ·olivine-depleted pyroxene-rich orthocumulates (komatiitic basalts).
