- Description
- Gevers (1934) named the succession of quartzites, feld-spathic sandstones, massive conglomeratic arkoses and sedimentary breccias around Dordabis, the Dordabis Series. He considered this series to be of Nama age and the basic volcanics in the series to be post Nama, pre-Karoo eruptive diabase. Schalk (pers. comm.) has found the succession to be pre-Damara in age and possibly equivalent to the Sinclair Sequence. These ‘Dordabis Series’ rocks have since been incorrectly included into the Marienhof Formation of the Rehoboth Sequence on the 1980 1:1 000 000 Geological Map of SWA/Namibia. In this report, it is suggested that this succession be called the Dordabis Formation.
