  GeoForschungszentrum Potsdam Scientific Technical Report - GFZ STR 05/02
Abstract: The Erongo complex is the largest of the Cretaceous igneous complexes in the Damaraland, Southern Etendeka Province, Namibia.
This is supported by: 1) the uneven distribution of the unit, 2) the lack of an intrusive equivalent, 3) the absence of locally-derived lithic fragments and basement-inherited zircons, and 4) the overlap in 87Sr/86Sr130 Ma (0.72048 to 0.72265), 143Nd/144Nd130 Ma ratios (0.512045 to 0.512069).
Erongo is the last of the large silicic complexes in the Damaraland to be dated.
