- Description
- In monotonous basalt sequences, such as the Karoo basalt sequence in Lesotho, geochemistry can be a useful adjunct to stratigraphic studies. The acceptance of geochemical criteria in defining stratigraphic units arises from work in the Columbia River Group in NW SA (Swanson et al., 1979) and is now widely employed. It has recently been successfully applied in the Karoo basalts (Marsh et al., in press). In the current investigation a stratigraphic framework for construction work related to the Katse-Mohale tunnel has been developed using the compositions of basalt samples collected from a number of borehole cores in relation to the geochemical stratigraphy of Marshet al. (in press).
