Cainozoic history of the Vestfold Hills.

D. A. Adamson, J. Pickard

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The fossil record, sediments and landforms of the Vestfold Hills all provide evidence of those Cainozoic events which initiated the largest ice sheet on earth, viz Antarctica. A Pliocene marine deposit is unique to E Antarctica; its geological character and fossil biota are discussed. The evolution of freshwater lakes is outlined; these major features of the Vestfold Hills, with 8% of the area (plus a further 2% comprising saline and hypersaline lakes) includes supraglacial and proglacial waterbodies, and closed and open rock basins. -P.J.Jarvis School Biological Sciences, Macquarie Univ., North Ryde, NSW 2113, Australia.
