Entry ID:
K003_1974_1982_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
The eastern part of the Bower Group in the Mariner Glacier area and the central western part of the Bowers Group in the Black Glacier-Sledger Glacier area were visited and examined to search for fossils and examine the stratigraphic sequence. It was hoped that the fossil collections would enable an age determination of the rocks, provide information to help deduce the environment of deposition of ...
