Popis: International audience; The Mako area is composed of a wide variety of greenschist facies metamorphosed rocks(Bassot, 1966; Dabo et al., 2017). These rocks are of mafic, ultramafic, intermediate and felsicnature associated with low sedimentary levels (Ngom, 1995). This ensemble is intersected byEburnean granitoids which locally contain mafic enclaves.In the Mako sector these granitoids are composed of Niéméniké pink granite, Lamé microgranite,Soukourtou granodiorite (Bananeraie), Niéméniké leucocratic diorite and mesocraticquartz diorite. The mafic enclaves trapped in these granitoids present varied petrographicand structural characteristics. Indeed, they show microlitic to granular textures, millimetric tomulti-centimetric dimensions with elongated, ovoid or even ellipsoidal shapes. Most of theenclaves observed, generally have curvilinear boundaries which are crenulated in the detail.Some rare cases show straight boundaries with their host rock.The mineralogy of the enclaves is dominated by primary minerals (plagioclase, amphiboleand pyroxene) associated with secondary minerals resulting from the uralitization of pyroxenesand the saussuritization of plagioclase.In view of all these characteristics, it appears that most of these mafic enclaves, which essentiallycorrespond to metagabbros and metabasalts, were not at solid state when incorporatedinto the granitoids. We argue in this respect that the granitoids and the majority of the enclavesare derived from two contemporaneous magmatic liquids. These liquids have taken the samepath during their ascent with one more mafic giving the enclaves and the other more felsicgiving the granitoids. In this case, the mafic magma would be less important than the felsicmagma. However, the well-defined straight-line enclaves would be linked to an already consolidatedmagma before being fragmented, ripped and carried away as enclaves in the granitoids.In the latter case, the mafic enclaves result from the surrounding outcrops of metabasaltsand metagabbros, which are locally cross-cut by granitoids (leucocratic diorite of Niéméniké).The alteration of some of these enclaves reveals empty cavities within the granitoids.The existence of at least two generations of mafic enclaves (ante- and syn-granitoids)within the granitoids suggests a recurrence of at least two mafic magmatism events in the Paleoproterozoicformations of the Kédougou-Kéniéba Inlier.
