Cenozoic History of the East Antarctic Icesheet - Studies of the Pagodroma Tillite and Related Strate, Prince Charles Mountains

From the abstracts of some of the referenced papers:During November and December 1985, we examined outcrops of the Sirius Formation in the Miller, Queen Alexandra (The Cloudmaker), and Dominion ranges and on Mount Sirius. Outcrops in the Dominion Range were visited earlier. Deposits in the Miller Range and at The Cloudmaker were not previously known. In this report we provide briefly a review of preliminary data on Sirius Formation stratigraphy, sedimentation, and glacial history in the central Transantarctic Mountains. Other aspects of our research on the Sirius Formation presented in the 1986 review issue of the Antarctic Journal are: glacial history and tectonic relations; Dominion Erosion Surface topography; siliceous microfossil biostratigraphy and Pliocene marine environments; palynomorphs; modern southern hemisphere botanical analogs; and Pliocene terrestrial environments, flora, and biogeography. Microfossil analyses will be reported in the December 1987 issue of the Antarctic Journal.ASAC project 52 (ASAC_52) was incorporated into this project.

引自部分参考文献的摘要：

1985年11月至12月期间，我们考察了米勒山脉（Miller Range）、亚历山德拉女王山脉（Queen Alexandra，又称The Cloudmaker）、多米宁山脉（Dominion Range）以及天狼星山（Mount Sirius）的天狼星组（Sirius Formation）露头。多米宁山脉的露头此前已被考察过，而米勒山脉和The Cloudmaker的沉积层则是首次发现。本报告简要综述了横贯南极山脉中部（central Transantarctic Mountains）天狼星组的地层学、沉积作用及冰川历史的初步数据。我们关于天狼星组的其他研究内容已发表于1986年《南极期刊》（Antarctic Journal）综述专刊，包括：冰川历史与构造关系、多米宁侵蚀面地形、硅质微体化石生物地层学与上新世海洋环境、孢粉形态、南半球现代植物类比物，以及上新世陆地环境、植物区系及生物地理学。微体化石分析结果将发表于1987年12月的《南极期刊》。
