Stratigraphy of the upper Jurassic-lower cretaceous Nordenskjöld Formation of eastern Graham Land, Antarctica

The Nordenskjöld Formation is a sequence of thinly interbedded ash beds and black, radiolarian-rich mudstones which is exposed on the eastern coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. As a result of recent field work, the Nordenskjöld Formation has been re-examined and redefined with three new members recog...
