Surface textures of quartz grains obtained from an iceberg and submarine sediments in Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica

Observation of the surface textures of quartz grains contained within glacial and glacio-marine sediments which were obtained from the Lutzow-Holm Bay area was made by the scanning electron microscopy. These quartz grains contain from 55 to 80 per cent glacial ones. Many quartz grains have not only...
