Determination of a polar wander path for Beacon Supergroup at Mount Bastion, West Beacon and Table Mountain
Entry ID: K042_1978_1979_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Beacon Supergroup in the McMurdo Sound region is a flat lying continental sequence about 2000m thick and ranging in age from Early Devonian to Late Triassic (400 to 180 my BP). A polar wander curve for Antarctica for this 200 my period was attempted and oriented rock samples were collected for analysis. Oriented samples were collected at time intervals of no longer than 0.5 my, roughly every ... View entire text
