The Cockburn Island Formation; Late Pliocene interglacial sedimentation in the James Ross Basin, northern Antarctic Peninsula

The longest-known pectinid-bearing deposit in the Antarctic, the "Pecten-conglomerate" of Cockburn Island in the James Ross Island group, northern Antarctic Peninsula, is herein formally named the Cockburn Island Formation. A detailed account of its lithology, palaeontology, age and deposi...
