Archaean granite and greenstone rock assemblages form the central area of the country, the Tanzania Craton, which is surrounded by Proterozoic belts: the Palaeoproterozoic Usagaran–Ubendian Belt and the Mesoproterozoic Kibaran Belt. The Neoproterozoic Mozambique Belt occurs in the eastern part of the country.
The geology of Tanzania began to form in the Precambrian, in the Archean and Proterozoic eons, in some cases more than 2.5 billion years ago.
