Abstract
Mafic dyke swarms are common in Proterozoic continental
crustal terrains. Although it is generally recognized that
parallel mafic dyke swarms are formed in extensional
tectonic settings and that they accommodate in the order
of 10% of extensional strain, the tectonics and geodynamics
of dyke swarm emplacement are poorly understood.
Since observations suggest that the level of
