Popis: We constrain the multistage tectonic evolution of the Palaeoproterozoic UHT metamorphic (P ​= ​0.9–1.0 ​GPa, T >1000 ​°C, t ​= ​2088–2031 ​Ma) Bakhuis Granulite Belt (BGB) in Surinam on the Guiana Shield, using large- to small-scale structures, Al-in-hornblende thermobarometry and published fluid inclusion and zircon geochronological data. The BGB forms a narrow, NE–SW striking belt between two formerly connected, ~E–W oriented granite-greenstone belts, formed between converging Amazonian and West African continental masses prior to collision and Transamazonian orogeny. Inherited detrital zircon in BGB metasediments conforms agewise to Birimian zircon of West Africa and suggests derivation from the subsequently subducted African passive margin. Ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism may have followed slab break-off and asthenospheric heat advection. Peak metamorphic structures result from layer-parallel shearing and folding, reflecting initial transtensional exhumation of the subducted African margin after slab break-off. A second HT event involves intrusion, at ca. 0.49 ​GPa, of charnockites and metagabbros at 1993–1984 ​Ma and a layered anorthosite at 1980 ​Ma, after the BGB had already cooled to
