Description: Magma supply for lava eruptions remains a poorly understood facet of continental flood volcanism. In the Karoo Province a vast complex of dolerite sheets and dykes is exposed in the main Karoo sedimentary basin underlying the flood basalt remnant of Lesotho (Drakensberg Group) suggesting that lavas were erupted locally from a widely distributed network of fissures.
