VI BQ core from ca. 220 m below the sea floor.page break
VII Steve Bressler (USGS) coring samples for paleomagnetic studies, using a drill press in the carpenters workshop at Scott Base.
VIII Barry Walker (V.U.W.) using a petrographic microscope for smear slide analysis of core. Biolab, (S.B.).
IX Diamictite (d) carbonaceous shale (sh) and sandstone (st) are lithologies of the Metschel Tillite Formation at Mt. Fleming.
X Symmetrical ripples are formed in a thin calcareous bed in the Weller Coal Measures at Mt. Fleming.
XI Blue plateau ice encompasses the near-horizontal Beacon strata of Horseshoe Mtn., immediately west of Mt. Fleming. Location of Plate XII arrowed.
XII Extensive planar cross beds are preserved in Lashly sandstone (member B) which forms and extensive platform at Horseshoe Mtn. (Plate XI, arrowed).
XIII Intrepid VUWAE geologists measuring a section with the aid of the Jacob staff after a recent snow fall. (Horseshoe Mtn.)
XIV Hummocky alpine moraines are preserved near ice covered Lake Sigrid in the Pearse Valley.
