  • Jerram Et Al Twyfelfontein Sandstone
    Communs geol. Surv. Namibia, 12 (2000), 303-313 The Fossilised Desert: recent developments in our understanding of the Lower Cretaceous deposits in the Huab Basin, NW Namibia Dougal A. Jerram1, Nigel Mountney2, John Howell3 and Harald Stollhofen4 1Dept. of Geological Sciences, University of Durham, South Rd, Durham, DH1 3LE, UK. (email [email protected]). 2School of Earth Sciences and Geography, Keele University, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG, UK. 3Department of Earth Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3BX, UK. 4Institut für Geologie, Universität Würzburg, 97070 Würzburg, Germany. The Lower Cretaceous deposits in the Huab Basin, NW Namibia, comprise fluvial and aeolian sandstones, lava flows and associated intrusions of the Etendeka Group. The sandstones formed part of a major aeolian sand sea (erg) system that was active across large tracts of the Paraná-Huab Basin during Lower Cretaceous times (133-132 Ma). This erg system was progressively engulfed and subsequently preserved beneath and between lava flows of the Paraná-Etendeka Flood Basalt Province. Burial of this erg by flood basalts has resulted in the preservation of a variety of intact aeolian bed forms. Preserved bed forms vary in type and scale from 1 km wavelength compound transverse draa to isolated barchan dunes with downwind wavelengths of < 100 m. Due to the present-day preferential erosion of the lava flows, preserved aeolian dunes are now exposed in 3-D in the position in which they were migrating ~133 Ma ago. A relatively non-de- structive eruption style of inflated pahoehoe flows preserved the bed form geomorphology. These first pahoehoe flow fields, comprising olivine-phyric Tafelkop lavas, define a shallow shield-like volcanic feature.

  • Twyfelfontein, Namibia: UNESCO World Heritage Site
    Twyfelfontein, Namibia: UNESCO World Heritage Site The site of one of the known largest concentrations of engravings in Africa executed on flat and upright slabs; over five thousand individual figures have been recorded to date. Twyfelfontein (officially known as ǀUi-ǁAis) in the Kunene region of the Republic of Namibia (situated along the south Atlantic coast of Africa between 17 and 29 degrees south of the Equator) is the nation's first UNESCO World Heritage Site (established June 2007) situated in a transitional zone between the Namib Desert (the oldest desert in the world) and the semi-desert area in the Kunene region, home to a wide variety of rock arts which date back between 2000 and 3000 years ago. The site comprises roughly 2,500 rock engravings on 212 slabs of rock, as well as 13 panels containing a number of rock paintings, including the prehistoric rock carvings, with over 2,000 figures documented to date. Furthermore, Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes has one of the largest concentrations of [...] petroglyphs, i.e. rock engravings in Africa executed on flat and upright slabs. 206 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.9, no.7, September 2016 Most of these well-preserved engravings represent rhinoceros; the site also includes six paint elephant, ostrich and giraffe, as well as drawings of human and animal footprintsd rock shelters with motifs of human figures in red ochre. The objects excavated from two sections, date from the Late Stone Age. The site forms a coherent, extensive and high-quality record of ritual practices relating to hunter-gatherer communities in this part of southern Africa over at least 2,000 years, and eloquently illustrates the links between the ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers.

  • Namibia Rock Art and Wilderness Safari 2019
    Namibia Rock Art and wilderness safari 2019 Namibia’s vast open spaces - Spitzkoppe Mountain on horizon Pierre Jaunet David Coulson Introduction by David Coulson Rock Art is found in many parts of Africa, however in Southern Africa, where most of the art was created by ancestral bushmen, it is in Namibia where we find some of the finest and oldest art. Meanwhile the setting for these sites is one of the wildest, most spectacular desert landscapes anywhere. I have recently been invited by my friend, Pierre Jaunet of Catalina Safaris, to join him in leading a safari to visit some of the most interesting sites, which also gives us the opportunity to explore some of the country’s wilder places. African Rock art has been my passion for the last 25 years and I have so far documented sites in over 22 African countries, yet Namibia has always been one of my most special places, the scene of many wonderful adventures and the subject of a book, Namib, which I published before rock art took control of my future. Safari Overview by Pierre Jaunet With my good friend, David Coulson, an international Nairobi-based expert who published the définitive work on Africa’s Rock art some years ago, and is author of a major illustrated book on Namibia, we initially agreed last year to organise Desert Elephants walking through dunes. (Courtesy à 2 week trip looking for some of the most Gavin Thompson) exceptional art in Zimbabwe. This trip was a great success with the French and English group that came with us.
