- Description: The bimodal NW Etendeka province is located at the continental end of the Tristan plume trace in coastal Namibia. It comprises a high-Ti (Khumib type) and three low-Ti basalt (Tafelberg, Kuidas and Esmeralda types) suites, with, at stratigraphically higher level, interstratified high-Ti latites (three units) and quartz latites (five units), and one low-Ti quartz latite. Khumib basalts are enriched in high field strength elements and light rare earth elements relative to low-Ti types and exhibit trace element affinities with Tristan da Cunha lavas.

- Description: As a result of their relative concentration towards the respective Atlantic margins, the silicic eruptives of the Paraná (Brazil)–Etendeka large igneous province are disproportionately abundant in the Etendeka of Namibia. The NW Etendeka silicic units, dated at ∼132 Ma, occupy the upper stratigraphic levels of the volcanic sequences, restricted to the coastal zone, and comprise three latites and five quartz latites (QL).

- Description: Karoo volcanics of both mafic and felsic composition cover large areas of southern Africa, and are characterized by considerable ranges in their initial 87Sr/86Sr (i.e. Ro) ratios. Mafic volcanics from the eastern and western continental margins show the greatest range in Ro ratios, i.e. Lebombo-Nuanetsi area: 0.7035-0.7134 and Etendeka: 0.7030-0.7135 respectively. In the Central Karoo area the mafic rocks show a smaller spread of ratios: 0.7046-0.7094.
