Lateral profiling of facies and sediments, and examination of trace fossils and altered Pivot Member sediments to describe the depositional environment of the quartzose sandstones of the Beacon Supergroup
Entry ID:
K040_1993_1994_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
The origin of quartzose sandstones in the lower part (Devonian) of the Beacon Supergroup, southern Victoria Land, has generated considerable debate. This project examined in detail the lowermost Beacon Supergroup, specifically the New Mountain Sandstone at Table Mountain. Data was collected by measuring (primarily describing facies and recording paleocurrent directions) closely spaced vertical ...
