Prominent deformation features and interpretation of sediment core CRP-2/2A (Table 1), supplement to: Passchier, Sandra (2000): Soft-sediment deformation features in core from CRP-2/2A, Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica. Terra Antartica, 7(3), 401-412
Sediment deformation features in CRP-2/2A were described during normal logging procedures and from core-scan images. In this paper the origin of soft-sediment folding, contorted bedding, microfaulting, clastic dykes, shear zones and intraformational breccias is discussed. The features have a stratig...
