Crustal Cross-Sections along the Mawson Escarpment and Mount Stinear, Southern Prince Charles Mountains

Crustal Cross-Sections along the Mawson Escarpment and Mount Stinear, Southern Prince Charles Mountains (East Antarctica): Correlating the Ruker Complex across the Lambert Glacier. From the attached paper: Previous workers in the southern Prince Charles Mountains have described geologic similarities between Mount Stinear and the southern Mawson Escarpment. At each location, quartzite, metconglomerate and garnet-staurolite-kyanite metapelite are intercalated with various bodies of felsic orthogneiss of probable Archaean age. In this contribution, we present detailed geologic cross-sections of the Mawson Escarpment and Mount Stinear arising from fieldwork completed during the 2002-03 Prince Charles Mountains Expedition of Germany and Australia (PCMEGA). A correlation of the Ruker Complex across the Lambert Glacier appears tenable using the mapping results together with the available geochronological and aeromagnetic data from both areas.

东南极查尔斯王子山脉（Prince Charles Mountains）南部莫森悬崖（Mawson Escarpment）与斯泰纳尔山（Mount Stinear）地壳剖面：横跨兰伯特冰川（Lambert Glacier）的鲁克尔杂岩（Ruker Complex）对比

据所附论文：
此前在查尔斯王子山脉南部开展研究的学者已指出，斯泰纳尔山与莫森悬崖南部存在地质相似性。两处点位均发育石英岩、变砾岩与石榴子石-十字石-蓝晶石泥质变质岩，且与多套可能形成于太古代的长英质正片麻岩岩体互层产出。本研究基于2002-2003年度德澳查尔斯王子山脉考察队（PCMEGA）的野外考察成果，呈现莫森悬崖与斯泰纳尔山的详细地质剖面。结合两地的填图成果以及已有的地质年代学与航空磁测数据，横跨兰伯特冰川的鲁克尔杂岩对比方案具备合理性。
