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

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
