| Abstract: | The chemical and geological nature of thec. 600 m.y. igneous complex of the Al-Hadah escarpment of Saudi Arabia is fitting to that of a modern subduction environment. It appears that plate motions were occurring during this Pan-African tectonic event but the scale of both plates and motions was smaller than that of the present time. |
