Granulite-facies metamorphism is reported extensively in Late Neoproterozoic/Early Palaeozoic time during formation of the East-African-Antarctic-Orogen (EAAO). Metamorphic data acquired from the Pan-African orogen of central Dronning Maud Land (cDML) are compared with data from northern Mozambique. The metamorphic rocks of cDML are characterised by Opx±Grt-bearing gneisses and Sil-bearing metapelites which indicate medium-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism. Peak conditions are estimated to 800-900 ºC at pressures up to 1.0 GPa. Peak metamorphism in cDML was followed by near-isothermal decompression during late-Pan-African extension and exhumation. In northern Mozambique, Grt+Cpx-bearing assemblages indicate high-pressure granulite-facies conditions during the Pan-African orogen with PT reaching 1.55 GPa and 900ºC. Garnet is replaced by symplectites of Pl+Opx+Mag indicating isothermal decompression, and the subsequent formation of Pl+amphibole-coronas suggests cooling into amphibolite facies. It is concluded that high-temperature metamorphism was pervasive in EAAO in Late Neoproterozoic/Early Paleozoic time, strongly overprinting any evidence of earlier metamorphic assemblages.
