Hello,
Geological Wonders of Namibia explains the The Devil's Playground as "a chaotic pile of huge dolorite blocks." **
"Giant Dyke Swarms (GDS), which naturally appear in very old geological formations, have been detected not only on Earth but also on Mars and Venus.
In times of great geodynamic activity, like the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, pressurized magma violently fractures the crust, while simultaneously injecting itself through subsurface fractures, forming dykes. Some dykes reach the surface generating volcanic eruptions.
