Flood Basalts of Vestfjella: Jurassic Magmatism Across an Archaean-Proterozoic Lithospheric Boundary in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

Continental flood basalts (CFBs) of Jurassic age make up the Vestfjella mountains of western Dronning Maud Land and demonstrate an Antarctic extension of the Karoo large igneous province.
