Geological map of the
Aileu Geological map of the Aileu formation (from Berry 1981) covering the region between Dili and Manatuto. Its metamorphic grade increases eastwards towards Manatuto, and in the high-grade rocks close to Manatuto there is a block of intensely sheared lherzolites know as the Hili Manu lherzolite (Berry, 1981, J. Geol. Soc. Australia, 28, 453). |
