File Southern African Cratons.svg thumb 300px Southern Africa showing location of Limpopo belt The Limpopo Belt is located in South Africa and Zimbabwe , runs E NE, and joins the Kaapvaal craton to the south with the Zimbabwe craton to the north. The belt is of high grade metamorphic rocks that have undergone a long cycle of metamorphism and deformation that ended 2.0 billion years ago, after the stabilisation of the adjacent massifs. The belt comprises 3 components the Central Zone, the North Marginal Zone and the South Marginal Zone. Ca. 3.2 2.9 Ga Limpopo Central Zone The 250 km wide Limpopo belt of southern Africa is an east northeast trending zone of granulite facies tectonite s separating the granitoid greenstone terranes of the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons. Large scale ductile shear zone s are an integral part of Limpopo belt architecture. They define the boundaries between the belt and the adjacent cratons and separate internal zones within the belt. The shear zones forming the external northern, southern and western margins of the belt are interpreted as uplift structures of the overthickened crust. The crustal evolution of the Limpopo Central Zone can be summarized into three main periods 3.2 2.9 Ga, 2.6 Ga, and 2.0 Ga. The two first periods are mainly characterized by magma tic activity leading to the formation of Archaean Tonalite Trondhjemite Granodiorite TTG such as the Sand River Gneisses or the Bulai Granite intrusion.

These lizards are arboreal inhabitants of dry forests, where they hide under loose bark and in hollow tree limbs. The dorsal pattern varies from red to brown to Gray color gray with dark spots or lines. On some individuals the lines fuse into a black bordered white stripe along the midline of the back. Limpopo Girdled Lizards have a distinct dark dorsolateral stripe running from the head to the hips. The belly, throat, and lips are cream to yellow. The tail is very spiny and about 45 the total length of the animal. The maximum length is about 166 mm. The Limpopo Girdled Lizard is sometimes classified as a subspecies of the Tropical Girdled Lizard Cordylus tropidosternum . When both species are held together, the Limpopo Girdled Lizard has a noticeable shorter snout. The nostril pierces the center of the nasal scale the lower posterior corner of the nasal in C. tropidosternum . Scales on the throat and belly of Limpopo Girdled Lizards are smooth instead of keeled. Limpopo Girdled Lizards are exported from Mozambique for the pet trade, where they are often mislabeled as Cordylus vittifer . They make hardy captives, feeding on insects and other small arthropods.
