Giant shear processes shaped Africa's southern margin during the break-up of the supercontinent Gondwana. They acted along a more than 1000 km long transform fault, whose remnant structure - the Agulhas-Falkland Fracture Zone - stretches today from the Falkland Plateau to the southeastern margin of Africa. A study of the processes which initiated such a long-offset transform fault and acted during their active phase is essential to understand how this sheared margin developed. Africa's southern margin is not only one of the best examples to study the sharp continent-ocean-transition zones, the marginal ridge, fracture zone, and basin structures usually associated with transform margins, but it provides the unique opportunity to study how ex...
