Abstract: | Abundant dykes in the southern Etendeka region, NW Namibia,mostly contain 820% MgO. Almost all can be allocatedto previously described Early Cretaceous magma types. Horingbaai-typebasaltspicrites occur up to 120 km inland. Some havesuperficially mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-like compositions:(La/Nb)n |
