Palæomagnetism of some dolerite intrusions from the Theron Mountains and Whichaway Nunataks, Antarctica

As a part of the scientific activity of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition a collection of eight oriented samples was made by Stephenson from dolerite sills and dykes in the region of the Theron Mountains, Shackleton Range and Whichaway Nunataks. The seven intrusions which have been sampled...
