Tukuk-OS⛰️ Vingerklip
Namibia · Africa · 929 m · 20.38°S, 15.43°E
The Vingerklip, a rock needle built up from sedimentary rock layers dating from the Tertiary period, is situated about 80 km southwest of the town of Outjo and approx. 50 km east of the city of Khorixas in northwestern Namibia. This rock formation is an erosion residue, a kind of mini-witness mountain of a layer level that extends further east parallel to and north of the Ugab. This layer level, like the rock finger, consists of deposits from the Tertiary forerunners of the Ugab river system and tower over the recent valley of the Ugab by up to 160 meters. These deposits are predominantly carbonated sandstones and conglomerates.
