Description: Over the last 15 years systematic geochemical and petrological investigation of the igneous rocks of the Early Cretaceous - Late Jurassic Etendeka Igneous Province of northwestern Namibia have focused on the tholeiitic basaltic lavas and interbedded silicic volcanic rocks and the large central subvolcanic complexes of Brandberg, Erongo, Okenyenya, Messum, Doros and Cape Cross. Previously these rocks were grouped into the Karoo Volcanic Province of South Africa, but in view of the distinct age difference between the igneous rocks of the Etendeka region and Karoo rocks occurring elsewhere in southern Africa , we propose to regard them as constituting a separate Etendeka Igneous Province which exhibits a close lithological, geochemical and temporal correlation with the Parana Flood Basalt Province of South America.
