Major and trace element chemical analyses of the Plio-Pleistocene Bardin Bluffs Formation, on the margin of a major ice-stream of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, yield an anomalous chemically altered sediment composition. The Bardin Bluffs Formation of the Pagodroma Group is one of the key deposits on...
