While surface field relationships suggest an inward dipping structure, it is unclear how these dips extend to depth. The 3D geometry of the Pilanesberg Complex is also unknown. 2D and 3D forward and inversion modelling of gravity and magnetic data are used to set limits on the 3D shape of the Complex. Based on age and chemical affinity, it is known that the Pilanesberg Complex forms part of a larger system of alkaline intrusions that includes two dyke swarms that radiate to the north-west and south of the Complex, as well as smaller circular clinopyroxene intrusions throughout the Bushveld Complex. The Pilanesberg dyke swarms and the circular clinopyroxenite intrusions are reversely magnetised to that of the normally magnetised Pilanesberg Complex, suggesting that a magnetic reversal occurred during emplacement of the system.enPilanesberg Complex3D modellingRing dykeMagnetic reversalConference PresentationLee, S., Webb, S., Jones, M., Durrheim, R., & Ganerød, M.
