- Description: Remnants of the erupted and intrusive products of the Karoo igneous province, one of the classic Mesozoic continental flood basalt provinces, are found throughout southern Africa. Such large continental igneous events are frequently ascribed to the rise of deep-seated mantle plumes and, in some instances, are thought to be related to continental breakup.

- Description: A volcanic event of immense scale occurred within a relatively short period in early Jurassic time over large regions of the contiguous Gondwana supercontinent. In southern Africa, associated remnants of thick volcanic successions of lava flows and extensive dike and sill complexes of similar composition have been grouped together as the Karoo Igneous Province. Correlative volcanic and plutonic rocks occur in Antarctica and Australia as the Ferrar Province.
