The rocks of the James Ross Basin consist of a 6 km-thick, relatively complete sequence of Early Cretaceous-Eocene marine sediments, which are remarkably well exposed over Seymour, Vega, James Ross, and Snow Hill islands. Throughout most of the sequence, macrofossils and microfossils are extremely a...

Summary:The rocks of the James Ross Basin consist of a 6 km-thick, relatively complete sequence of Early Cretaceous-Eocene marine sediments, which are remarkably well exposed over Seymour, Vega, James Ross, and Snow Hill islands. Throughout most of the sequence, macrofossils and microfossils are extremely abundant and diverse.
