Geology

Extensions of the Beacon series south-west to the Taylor to link in with areas immediately across the Taylor studied by McKelvey and Webb in 1957/58 and of the same series to the north and to the west to link with regions mapped by the 1958/59 party and also by T.A.E. geologists should be made. During these visits the fossil locality near Shapeless would be re-examined and other localities sought in nearby rocks of the series. The so-called Mawson tillite would be sought further south. The dolerites associated with the Beacon and with the basement rocks would be further examined and mapped and the basement metamorphics and granites studied further. General geological mapping of the whole of the remaining area would be carried out.
