The physical features and dynamics of Ferrar dolerite dykes and sills within the Allan Hills, Victoria Land
Entry ID:
K061_2006_2007_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
At Allan Hills, dykes and sills are respectively sub-vertical and sub-horizontal magma bodies of fine textured basaltic rock, remnants of the formation of the Ferrar Large Igneous Province when large volumes of magma ascended from the deep mantle source and deposited at the surface level. The structural and physical features of the Ferrar dolerite dykes and sills was investigated at Allan Hills ...
