Entry ID:
Ross_Embayment_till_provenance
Summary
Abstract:
Sand petrographic data were collected on the 500-2000 micron fraction of
LGM-age till from the Ross Embayment. Moraine samples from the Beardmore, Byrd, Darwin/Hatherton Glaciers, Mt. Achernar and Allan Hills were obtained from Dr. Gunter Faure (Ohio State) and Dr. James Bockheim (U. of Wisconsin, Madison). Samples of till from beneath the Siple ...  Geographic Coverage
