The Reguibat ridge, crossing Mauritania, Morocco and Algeria, which is approximately 1.500 km long along a 250 to 400 km wide SW-NE axis, consists of the following:
(1) Gneisses migmatitic orthogneisses (Tiris and Amsaga complexes), greenstone belts (Tasiast-Tijirit terranes) sometimes associated with banded iron deposits and Archean granitoids of around 3.5–2.4 Ga, in the western part.
The Sfariat belt, made up of strongly deformed predominant metamorphosed sediments, granitoids and volcanics rocks with the presence of migmatites, dated at around 2.1–2.0 Ga, acts as a contact zone between the Paleoproterozoic and the Archean core.
(2) Eburnean terrains comprising granitic intrusive complexes and other volcanic and volcano-sedimentary formations of Lower Proterozoic (Birrimian) to Neoproterozoic age, which reflect deep crustal reworking in the eastern part.
These domains are structurally separated by shear zones, notably the Zednes fault system.
The Archean Shield contrasts with the Eburnean Shield by exhibiting a major metamorphism of very-high-grade TTG type at around 3.5–2.5 Ga and by the wide spread of migmatites and ferruginous quartzites.
