Abstract
The analysis of Eburnean strain fields in the Upper (?) Birrimian Comoé Unit shows four great stages of tectogenesis:
•
an early cleavage subparallel to stratification which results from synkinematic granitoïd intrusions;
•
a folding (N40°E to N60°E);
•
a transcurrent faulting period, essentially ductile N-S sinistral;
•
N120°E schistosity, and a N110°E transcurrent ductile sinistral (?) faulting phase.
The importance of the sinistral N-S faulting system and, to a lesser extent, the N120°E schistosity direction, is shown. The probable rôle of these directions (particularly N-S) from Liberian to Upper Cretaceous is shown by the within-plate tectonic occurrences in the West-African craton.
