Contents	Aims and Concepts of the Atlas -- Early Geological Maps of Africa -- Tectonostratigraphic Synopsis -- Algeria -- Angola -- Benin -- Botswana -- Burkina Faso -- Burundi -- Cameroon -- Canary Islands (Spain) -- Cape Verde -- Central African Republic -- Chad -- The Comoros (Mayotte is still under French administration) -- Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) -- Republic of Congo -- Djibouti -- Egypt -- Equatorial Guinea -- Eritrea -- Ethiopia -- Gabon -- The Gambia -- Ghana -- Guinea -- Guinea Bissau -- Ivory Coast - Cote d’Ivoire -- Kenya -- Lesotho -- Liberia -- Libya -- Madagascar -- Madeira (Portugal) -- Malawi -- Mali -- Mauritania -- Mauritius -- Morocco -- Mozambique -- Namibia -- Niger -- Nigeria -- Reunion (France) -- Rwanda -- São Tomé et Príncipe -- Senegal -- Seychelles -- Sierra Leone -- Socotra (Yemen) -- Somalia -- South Africa -- Sudan -- Swaziland -- Tanzania -- Togo -- Tunisia -- Uganda -- Western Sahara (under Moroccan administration) -- Zambia -- Zimbabwe.
Summary	Here is the new edition of the first attempt to summarize the geology of Africa by presenting it in an atlas and to synthesize the stratigraphy, tectonics, economic geology, geohazards and geosites of each country and territory of the continent. Furthermore, the digitized geological maps are correlated and harmonized according to the current stratigraphic timetable. The atlas aims to contribute to capacity building in African Earth Sciences and to aid the initiation of research and enable the achievement of economic opportunities by providing a database of basic geological background information.
