So why is this geologic province called "Karoo-Ferrar"? Are these the locations where the rocks were first found? If so, where are "Karoo" & "Ferrar"? (Just some questions from a non-expert who would like to learn, not be made to feel uneducated.) -- llywrch (talk) 22:36, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert either, but my guess is that it's named after the Karoo region in South Africa and the Ferrar Glacier in Antarctica. I'll try to track down a source or two. -- Avenue (talk) 01:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map needed

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality.
Wikipedians in South Africa may be able to help!

needs two maps really - the obvious one, showing the current extent, and ideally a second one that shows the extent of the basalt before the seperation of the continents. EdwardLane (talk) 10:55, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
