Geological region
Limpopo Belt
Also known as Limpopo province
The high-grade belt between the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons in southern Africa. Lithoen records it because the chromite deposit model places the Bushveld Complex in "the Limpopo province of South Africa", which is a statement about where the intrusion sits relative to two ancient blocks and the belt between them.

What Lithoen records
Each claim states how it is known and cites its evidence.
InferredA named belt between the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons, held with no sourced extent or history.
Lithoen records the Limpopo Belt because the USGS chromite model locates the Bushveld Complex in "the Limpopo province of South Africa" while placing it in the Kaapvaal craton. The corpus holds no source that delimits the belt, describes its structure or dates its deformation, so the record exists to hold the name and its relation to two adjacent blocks and nothing further.
- precision note: The weakest region record in the corpus, and deliberately marked so. It carries no geometry, because Lithoen has no source for one.
