Table Mountain overlooks the city of Cape Town, South Africa. Great thicknesses of Ordovician sandstone make up the upper part of the mountain, while the Precambrian Malmesbury Group, itself intruded by granite, sits beneath an unconformity at the break in slope. The history of this picturesque region is detailed on the University of Cape Town site.
