Mt. Feather: (Figure 4)

Mt. Feather: (Figure 4)

Two boulder pavements were discovered in Sirius diamictite at the outcrop on the eastern corner of the Sirius Group plateau. Data collected imply that lodgement was the main process in pavement formation. Ice flow appears to have been across the bench of Sirius, roughly perpendicular to modern Ferrar glacier flow on the southeast side of Feather. Beneath the pavements is a dark grey comminution tillite that directly overlies Weller interbedded shale and coal which were overridden, deformed, and reconstituted to form the tillite.
