The volcanic field covers an area of 1500 sq km, overlying Precambrian metamorphic and plutonic rocks of the Tuareg shield. Many cones are breached, and the dominantly basaltic and basanitic volcanic products are rich in peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths and megacrysts. The youngest volcanoes rest on Neolithic terraces and are of Holocene age. The Tuareg Shield is an area lying between the West African craton and the Saharan Metacraton in West Africa . It has complex geology, reflecting the collision between these cratons and later events. It covers parts of Algeria , Niger and Mali . Origins The shield is mainly composed of Archean or Paleoproterozoic terrane s and Neoproterozoic terranes that amalgamated during the Pan African orogeny when the West African craton and the Saharan metacraton converged. The shield originated in oceanic island arc s that formed on the cratons during 900 Ma to 680 Ma, of which relics remain as thrust sheets on top of more rigid bodies. ref name Foulger2005 In Mali, the Tilemsi belt is a complex of intraoceanic arcs that formed above a subduction zone sloping down to the east and were accreted to the shield during the Pan African orogeny . ref name Tollo2004 The western part of the Hoggar massif is made of material from the Pharusian Ocean including oceanic basalts, arc volcanic and sedimentary rocks and sediments that were shed into the Pharusian Ocean by the West African craton and the eastern Hoggar. ref cite book page 237 url http books.google.ca books?id CI9Ig7DGvTMC&pg PA237 title Continents and supercontinents first1 John James William last1 Rogers first2 M ... been caused by the collision between that craton and the Tuareg shield. ref name Tollo2004 Later ... more details

The cloth may exceed ten meters in length. It is worn mostly by Tuareg people Tuareg men, but is sometimes used by men in other neighbouring ethnic groups, such as the Hausa people Hausa or Songhai people Songhai . In recent times, other colors have come into use, with the indigo veils saved for use on special occasions. It usually has many layers that cover the head and it drapes down to loosely cover the neck. It is also worn by some French people as a scarf. The tagelmust is a very practical garment for the Sahara region, as it both covers the head and prevents the inhalation of wind borne sand. ref http www.cnn.com 2007 TRAVEL DESTINATIONS 03 16 sahara index.html The Sahara Dry but never boring ref The indigo is also believed by many of the wearers to be healthy and beautiful, with a buildup of indigo in the skin of the wearer being generally considered a good thing.

Amenokal is an autochthonous title for the highest Taureg people Tuareg traditional chiefs. History Before the colonization by the French of the North African and Sahel countries they dwell in, the nomadic Tuareg federations elected a chief among the wise men of the tribes to rule the loose union of closely related groups. In present Algeria , an amenokal was at the head of the Kel Ahaggar Tuareg confederation since its establishment circa 1750 , maintained under colonial French suzerainty since 1903, no longer regognized after the Algerian independence, finally abolished in 1977 In the northern mountains of present Niger , around 1405 all chronology is uncertain in this context a state called A r was founded by the Tuareg confederation there, under an amenokal who was also designated by the Arabic Muslim title Sultan , hence it is also called a Berber sultanate. The first Tuareg chief, according to a tradition, was a woman, Tin Hinan , the founder of the Ahaggar community.
