Pan-African tectonics in northwestern Cameroon: Implication for the history of western Gondwana
TL;DR: In this article, three main tectonic events related to Pan-African collision and post-collision evolution have been identified in Cameroon: crustal thickening, left lateral wrench movements and right lateral wrench movement, successively.

Pan-African tectonic evolution and glacial events registered in Neoproterozoic to Cambrian cratonic and foreland basins of West Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian lithostratigraphic successions occurring on the West African craton and in the surrounding Pan-African fold belts, with special reference to glacial or glacially influenced deposits.

Synkinematic high-K calc-alkaline plutons associated with the Pan-African Central Cameroon shear zone (W-Tibati area): Petrology and geodynamic significance
TL;DR: In this article, four plutons from the W-Tibati area of central Cameroon crop out in close relationships with the Pan-African Adamawa ductile shear zone (Central Cameroon Shear Zone: CCSZ).

Restraining bends in high temperature shear zones: The “Central Cameroon Shear Zone”, Central Africa
TL;DR: A detailed structural study of the Central Cameroon Shear Zone (CCSZ) segment, in the Bamoun plateau (BP) and the Tikar plain (TP) (West Cameroon), reveals a complex strain geometry of this shear zone as mentioned in this paper.

Pan-African metamorphic evolution in the southern Yaounde Group (Oubanguide Complex, Cameroon) as revealed by EMP-monazite dating and thermobarometry of garnet metapelites
Sébastien Owona,Bernhard Schulz,Lothar Ratschbacher,Joseph Mvondo Ondoa,Georges Emmanuel Ekodeck,Félix M. Tchoua,Pascal Affaton +6 more
TL;DR: Garnet-bearing micaschists and paragneisses of the Yaounde Group in the Pan-African Central African Orogenic Belt in Cameroon underwent a polyphase structural evolution with the deformation stages D1-D2, D3 and D4 as discussed by the authors.
