Geological mapping and observations of the regional extent of the Bowers Supergroup and the rock sequences flanking it: Wilson Group and Robertson Bay Group, North Victoria Land

Entry ID: K051_1981_1982_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The stratigraphy, structure, paleontology and sedimentology of the Lower Paleozoic Bowers Supergroup is fairly well known but some questions remain unanswered. The objective of the expedition was to map the regional extent of the Boweres Supergroup, determine the relationship between the Supergroup and the rock sequences flanking it (Wilson Group and Robertson Bay Group) and to collect data from ...
