Coats Land dolerites and the generation of Antarctic continental flood basalts
1 January, 1992
On the basis of geochemical signatures, Mesozoic magmatism in Antarctica is divided into the Ferrar Magmatic Province and the Dronning Maud Land Province. The tholeiitic magmatism of the Ferrar Magmatic…Read more on Coats Land dolerites and the generation of Antarctic continental flood basalts
Biology of living brachiopods
1 January, 1992 by Lloyd Peck
This chapter describes the biology of living brachiopods. The Brachiopoda are significant components of the early Cambrian marine Faunas and are therefore one of the few phyla to be represented…The potential for Cretaceous coal in Antarctica
1 January, 1992 by Jane Francis
Cretaceous sediments in the Antarctic have yielded diverse fossil floras, and a few occurrences of thin coal have been described. Their presence illustrates that the climate was favorable for plant…Read more on The potential for Cretaceous coal in Antarctica
the granites of northern Patagonia and the Gastre Fault System in relation to the break -up of Gondwana
1 January, 1992
The transcurrent Gastre Fault System in central Patagonia, which is closely associated with subvolcanic granite emplacement, is recognized as a major dextral shear-zone and geological boundary. We propose its equivalence…Geochemical control on the evolutionary history of the Ballantrae Complex, SW Scotland, from comparisons with recent analogues
1 January, 1992
A combination of geochemical and field investigations of the Ballantrae Complex allows some control on the relative timing of events in its tectono-magmatic history. In particular, the presence of boninitic…Role of subduction-plate boundary forces during the initial stages of Gondwana break-up: evidence from the proto-Pacific margin of Antarctica
1 January, 1992
In the West Antarctic sector of Gondwana, early stages of break-up are associated with the large Antarctic-Karoo-Tasman basalt province. Formation of this within-plate province was synchronous with active margin tectonics…Igneous petrology and geochemistry of the southern Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica
1 January, 1992
Igneous rocks exposed in the southern Heritage Range include two diabasic sills (100 m and 300 m thick), three gabbroic stocks (outcrop areas eachThe history of place-names in the British Antarctic Territory
1 January, 1991
Volume 1 contains the introduction and history, as well as place names A-L.; Volume 2 contains names L-Z as well as references and a list of associated place-names.Read more on The history of place-names in the British Antarctic Territory
