Geophysics has not detected a thermal anomaly in the upper mantle and there is no geochemical evidence of an asthenosphere mantle contribution to the Cenozoic volcanic record of the region. Here we show that natural CO<sub>2</sub> seeps along the Ntlakwe-Bongwan fault within KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, have C-He ...[more]
