- Description
- Southern Africa hosts remnants of two continental flood basalt provinces emplaced in association with fragmentation of Gondwana. The earliest is the 183 Ma Karoo Province whose relationship to continental breakup and sea floor spreading is complex. Geochemical stratigraphy, Ar-Ar Dating and palaeomagnetism indicate that Karoo mafic igneous rocks throughout Southern Africa were emplaced over a very short interval at 183 Ma.
