Science - Geology / rock formations.

English term or phrase: basement complex

Last one in the same paragraph:
The iron-ore deposits of Liberia are Archaean-age iron formations of itabirite type and are associated with metavolcano-sedimentary formations overlying and tightly infolded into the predominantly gneissic basement complex.

Basement complex: The suite of mostly crystalline igneous and/or metamorphic rocks that generally underlies the sedimentary rock sequence.
