Abstract
A palaeomagnetic study is in progress on dyke swarms in the Badplaas-Barberton area and the preliminary results are presented here. The main aims of the study are to contribute towards the debate on Neoarchaean crustal evolution, and attempt to constrain the age, tectonic setting and genesis of these mainly tholeiitic dyke swarms.
