- Description: A bimodal suite of volcanic rocks builds the bulk of the Dominion Group which, with an age of ∼ 2.72 Ga, is the oldest cover sequence overlying the granite-greenstone Archaean basement of the Kaapvaal craton in the western Transvaal, South Africa. The basic lavas are relatively rich in SiO2 (50–58%) and aphyric and exhibit a large compositional range. This variation is typically tholeiitic in that it is characterized by strong enrichment of Ti, Fe, and V in differentiated lavas.

- Description: The Klipriviersberg Group is a small continental flood-type tholeiitic suite forming the basal unit of the Ventersdorp Supergroup, an undeformed late-Archaean supracrustal sequence covering 200000 km2 in the SW part of the Kaapvaal Craton. From the base up, the Klipriviersberg Group consists of the Westonaria, Alberton, Orkney, Jeannette, Loraine, and Edenville formations, with a maximum combined thickness of 1–8 km. Samples were obtained from several borehole cores in the Klerksdorp goldfield close to the type area of the Klipriviersberg Group.

- 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.

- Description: The Dominion group has an age of 2.7 - 2.8 Ga and is the earliest of the cover sequences overlying the granite greenstone terrane in the western part of the Archaean Kaapvaal Craton, southern Africa. The Dominion group is largely built of volcanic rocks and is preserved over an area of 15,000 km² with a maximum thickness of 2.7 km.

- Description: Major and trace element and 143Nd/144Nd (0.51209–0.51216) and 87Sr/86Sr (0.70879–0.71105) isotope analyses are presented on a representative group of lavas from the Vulsini district of the Roman magmatic province. Three distinct series are identified; the high-K and low-K series are similar to those described from other Italian volcanoes, while the third is represented by a group of relatively undifferentiated leucite basanites which are thought to be near-primary mantle melts.
