- Description
- A reliable 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of 180 ± 1.2 Ma (1σ) has been obtained for fresh basalt lava interbedded with aeolian Etjo Formation sandstones south-southwest of Grootfontein in northeast Namibia. This indicates that the Early Jurassic Karoo flood basalt sequence extended from Botswana into northeast Namibia at least as far as 18 east and that this may mark the eastern extent of the Early Cretaceous Etendeka Igneous Province.
