ABSTRACT: This paper focused on the results of the Trend Surface Analysis (TSA) of
the Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS) within the three major limbs of the Bushveld
Complex. This second part focused on the Eastern Bushveld Complex and discussed
the major trends, geometry and age relationship of the various structures
within the Complex. The trend surface analysis of the Eastern Bushveld reveals
that most of the residual positive structures occur as isolated closures with
dome shape and are consistent with the location of the diapiric structures
previously identified by geophysical and field mapping techniques.
