Description: Karoo basalts underlie an area of about 3750 km2 of the Springbok Flats. Four boreholes were logged and sampled for detailed petrographic and chemical analysis. The Springbok Flats basalt's chemical composition is compared with those of the Sabie River Formation of the Lebombo and the Lesotho type of the Central Karoo area. Sr- and Nd- isotopic data were also used in determining the chemical composition. The study also allows the geographical extent of the incompatible element-enriched clan of Karoo Lavas to be refined.
