Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Gesig op die mees westelike deel van die “Ugabterrasse” of hul oorblywende tafelkoppe en kranse (op die middeafstand van hierdie vergesig, met die Vingerklip direk links van die skuins helling op die regterhandse voorgrond) onderskeidelik noord van die hedendaagse rivierbedding van die Ugabrivier in die noordweste van Namibië. Die terrasse of tafelkoppe en kranse, onderskeidelik, verteenwoordig plaaslike Trias-sedimente van die "Paleo-Ugab" wat op Prekambriese keldergesteentes (Damara-opeenvolging) neergelê is, maar sedert die streek se opheffing in die laat Triastydperk verweer is.[1] Die berg waarvan die dowwe buitelyn so opvallend op die horison van die prent uittroon, is die Okenjenjaberg, die hoogste piek van 'n sirkelvormige bergreeks wat uit verskeie tipes basiese plutoniese gesteentes van die vroeë Kryttydperk bestaan.[2]
Deutsch: Blick auf den westlichsten Teil der „Ugab-Terrassen“ bzw. die aus diesen hervorgegangenen Tafelberge und Klippen (hinterer Bildmittelgrund, mit der Fingerklippe unmittelbar rechts neben dem Rücken im Vordergrund der rechten Bildhälfte) nördlich des rezenten Mittellaufs des Ugab Rivier, NW-Namibia. Die Terrassen bzw. Tafelberge und Klippen repräsentieren lokale tertiärzeitliche Ablagerungen des „Paläo-Ugab“, die auf präkambrischem Grundgebirge (Damara-Sequenz) abgelagert wurden und sich seit der spättertiären Anhebung der Region in Abtragung befinden.[1] Der Berg, dessen blasse Silhouette sich im Bildhintergrund so deutlich über den Horizont erhebt, ist der Okenyenya Berg, der höchste Gipfel einer ringartigen Berggruppe aus verschiedenen basischen plutonischen Gesteinen frühkreidezeitlichen Alters.[2]
English: View of the westernmost part of the “Ugab terraces” or their residual buttes/mesas and cliffs (far midground of picture, with the Vingerklip immediately left to the ridge in the foreground of the right half of the picture), respectively, north of the present-day river bed of the Ugab Rivier, NW Namibia. The terraces or buttes/mesas and cliffs, respectively, represent local Tertiary sediments of the “Paleo Ugab” which have been deposited upon Precambrian basement rocks (Damara sequence) but underwent erosion since the late Tertiary uplift of the region.[1] The mountain whose faint silhouette is projecting so conspicuously above the horizon in the background of the picture is the Okenyenya Berg, the highest peak of a circular mountain range consisting of various types of basic plutonic rocks of Early Cretaceous age.[2]
