- Description: The Klinghardt Mountains in South West Africa (Namibia) were the site of an important volcanic outburst late in the Eocene or early in the Oligocene. Over a hundred endogenous domes and several lava flows of the coulee type were emplaced: all analysed samples (more than 60) comprise varieties of phonolite. A sequence of ash-flow tuffs of limited areal extent is present on Glasrucken.

- Description: Volcanic rocks are found associated with several of the late Mesozoic basins of southern South Africa. Bentonites are known from Plettenberg Bay and, according to an unconfirmed report, they are also found in the Worcester Basin, while vitric tuffs have been recorded from east of Oudtshoorn. The most extensive occurrences, however, are those of the Suurberg Group, which crops out sporadically around the margins of the Algoa Basin.

The Klinghardt phonolites, South West Africa: Tertiary volcanism in western southern Africa

- 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.
