Approximate extent of Taoudeni basin Major West African sedimentary basins. The Taoudeni Basin is a major Sedimentary basin in West Africa, named after the Taoudenni village in northern Mali. It covers large parts of the West African craton in Mauritania and Mali. It is of considerable interest due to its possible reserves of oil. [1]
At that time, the Congo Craton lay to the west of the Amazonian Craton, and the West African Craton lay to the south where both were rotated about 180° and retain this relative configuration. [13] Around 750 million years ago Rodinia rifted apart into three continents: Proto-Laurasia, the Congo craton and Proto-Gondwana. [14]
Ghana and Mali are the second and third largest producers of gold in Africa, respectively. [ 1 ] The Birimian terranes in the southern part of the West African craton are a mix of metamorphosed volcanic , sedimentary , and plutonic rocks and low-grade metavolcanics and metasediments.

In 1956, Hubbert confined his peak oil prediction to that crude oil "producible by methods now in use." [13] By 1962, however, his analyses included future improvements in exploration and production. [14] All of Hubbert's analyses of peak oil specifically excluded oil manufactured from oil shale or mined from oil sands. A 2013 study predicting ...
Approximate location of Mesoproterozoic (older than 1.3 Ga) cratons within South America–Africa in their Gondwana configuration (c. 550-130 Ma).. The Congo Craton, covered by the Palaeozoic-to-recent Congo Basin, is an ancient Precambrian craton that with four others (the Kaapvaal, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and West African cratons) makes up the modern continent of Africa.
The use of Text Mining together with Machine Learning algorithms received more attention in the last years, [26] with the use of textual content from Internet as input to predict price changes in Stocks and other financial markets. The collective mood of Twitter messages has been linked to stock market performance. [27]
During this period the Birimian domain in West Africa was established and structured. [2] [3] [4] Eburnian faults are found in the Eglab shield to the north of the West African craton and in the Man Shield to the south of the craton. [5] There is evidence of three major Eburnean magmatic events in the Eglab shield.
