From Nick and his Team
One of the other teams did the opposite; traversing the low
country in the north of the area. Michelle was visiting from Head Office and we
were out to impress: the search was for basement volcanic rocks, but these
proved rather to be rather enigmatic and sparse. Penester (Economic Geologist
mind you!) summed it up: ”I’ve seen enough granodiorites to last a lifetime”.
We couldn’t really disagree…
Clockwise
from top left; Basement Granodiorites of the Vioolsdrif Suite, locally highly
sheared but still the same unit; Shane and Penester capturing the details,
contemplating the more varied geology on the Namibian side of the Orange River,
“you can’t fool me, these are still sheared granodiorites!”
