The Saharan Metacraton is a term used by some geologists to describe a large area of continental crust in the north-central part of Africa. Whereas a craton is an old and stable part of the lithosphere, the term "metacraton" is used to describe a craton that has been remobilized during an orogenic event, but where the characteristics of the original craton are still identifiable. The geology of the continent has only been partially explored, and other names have been used to describe the general area that reflect different views of its nature and extent. These include "Nile Craton", "Sahara Congo Craton", "Eastern Saharan Craton" and "Central Saharan Ghost Craton".This last term is because the older rocks are almost completely covered by recent sediments and desert sands, making geological

Quest'ultima denominazione si riferisce al fatto che le rocce più antiche sono quasi completamente ricoperte da sedimenti più recenti e da sabbie desertiche che rendono difficile l'analisi geologica.
