The Transantarctic mountains predominantly consist of Jurassic continental flood basalts (Kirkpatrick) and sills (Ferrar) emplaced during the earliest phase of the break-up of Pangea. Published ages, based on a variety of geochronological methods all agree rather well and cluster around 180 Ma sugge...
