Geologic map of Iwo region modified after 1: 250,000 sheet 60 (Iwo) of Geological Survey of Nigeria (GSN). 1, Migmatite-gneiss complex; 2, charnockite; 3, early granitic phases of Older Granite Cycle; 4, younger granitic phases of Older Granite Cycle; 5, amphibolite, amphibolite schist, and pelitic schist; 6 quartzite, quartz-schist, and quartzofeldspathic gneiss; 7, granitic-gneiss-dominated regions; p, pegmatite; T, tonalite. Thick broken lines indicate major faults [1].

Figure 5

Photomicrographs showing: (a) zoned allanite (Aln) surrounded by biotite (Bt) crystals; biotite is darker at the edges closer to allanite than those away (PPL). (b) Zoned allanite (Aln), biotite (Bt), plagioclase (Pl) and quartz (Qtz) (XPL). (c) Opaque (Opq) minerals within a zoned allanite (Aln), take note of the close relationship between biotite and allanite (PPL). (d) Inclusions of opaque (Opq) minerals within a zoned allanite (Aln) (XPL).
