The petrography and geology of South Georgia / George Walter Tyrrell.
Title: | The petrography and geology of South Georgia / George Walter Tyrrell. |
Author(s): | Tyrrell, George Walter. |
Date: | 1930. |
Publisher: | London: British Museum (Natural History) |
In: | Report on the geological collections made during the voyage of the Quest on the Shackleton-Rowett expedition to the South Atlantic and Weddell Sea in 1921-1922. (1930.), |
Abstract: | Proposes revisions to stratigraphic succession on South Georgia, based on detailed petrography of interbedded tuffs and volcanic greywackes and other sediments intruded by granite-gabbro complex, and discusses in relation to tectonics. Based on 120 rock specimens collected during Shackleton's 1921-22 Quest Antarctic expedition. |
Notes: | In: Report on the geological collections made during the voyage of the Quest on the Shackleton-Rowett expedition to the South Atlantic and Weddell Sea in 1921-1922 / Walter Campbell Smith, ed. |
