Transpressional deformation along the margin of Larsen Basin: new data from Pedersen Nunatak, Antarctic Peninsula
New structural data from the northern Antarctic Peninsula suggest that reverse faults and folds affecting the Pedersen Nunatak beds of the upper Mesozoic–Lower Cenozoic Larsen Basin succession were produced by transpressional forces acting parallel to the Weddell Sea coast of the Antarctic Peninsula...

New structural data from the northern Antarctic Peninsula suggest that reverse faults and folds affecting the Pedersen Nunatak beds of the upper Mesozoic–Lower Cenozoic Larsen Basin succession were produced by transpressional forces acting parallel to the Weddell Sea coast of the Antarctic Peninsula during mid-Cretaceous compression of the Larsen Basin. At Pedersen Nunatak, Larsen Basin rocks are deformed into a series of synclines and anticlines that are cut by reverse faults. |
