Clay mineral assemblages in lower Miocene and Quaternary sediments recovered at the CRP-1 drillsite, McMurdo Sound shelf, Antarctica, were analysed in order to reconstruct source areas of the sediments and late Cenozoic Antarctic icedynamics. The assemblages are dominated by smectite, illite and chl...
