Investigation of the shape, scale and distribution of irregular zones of fragmental rocks of the Mawson Formation at Coombs Hill to determine the precesses of volcanic vent evolution
Entry ID:
K061_2002_2003_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
The shape, scale and distribution of irregular zones of fragmental rocks within the overal chaotic deposits of the lower 300m of the Mawson Formation at Coombs Hills was determined. The chaotic deposits are thought to represent an unusually large composite volcanic conduit, in which subterranean jets of debris constitute an important transport mechanism. Geological mapping at scales varying from ...
