Description: Over 1OO phonolite bodies of mid-Tertiary age occur in the Klinghardt Mountains, 1OO km SE of Luderitz in Southern South West Africa the only published account of these rocks is that of Kaiser (1926) who gives a generalized map and describes briefly the mode of occurrence and petrography of the phonolites. The phonolite bodies are concentrated in an area roughly 8OO km2 and constitute an excellent example of an areal volcanic field (Rittmann, 1962), i.e. the activity occurred at a number of vents spread over a wide area and in most cases only a single eruptive episode took place at each vent.
