Large Igneous Province have been linked to rapid climate change and mass extinction. In this study we report paleomagnetic results from 52 sites of the Karoo Large Igneous Province in the Sani Pass area. 29 sites shows reverse polarity, 12 sites with normal polarity and 11 sites with excursional polarity. A polarity sequence of R-N-R-N is observed from the bottom to the top of the Sani Pass section.
