- Description
- Cox et al. (1967) first delineated the existence of two major geochemical provinces in the Karoo basalts of southern Africa. Tholeiitic basalts in Zimbabwe are highly enriched in incompatible trace elements and constitute the "northern province". In contrast, basalts from Lesotho and from the southern segment of the Lebombo monocline have lower or “normal” abundances of these elements and were regarded as a "southern province'. Recent work has established that this change in composition takes place relatively rapidly in the Central Lebombo.
