South Cameroon Plateau Metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, mica, migmatites, and schists make up the South Cameroon Plateau's basement. Deposits of these rocks appear along fault lines south of Yaoundé, where schists and quartzites are found; near the Dja River, where limestone and schists occur; and along the Ntem River, where gneiss, granite, mica, migmatite, and schists occur. The plateau's western portions are made up primarily of gneiss. These rocks are millions of years old.
