Plutonic and metamorphic rocks of Massif-A in the Yanato Mountains, East Antarctica
Geological and petrographical observations of crystalline basement rocks occurring in Massif-A of the Yamato Mountains are briefly described as a report of the geological works of the 21st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 1979-1981. The basement rocks are composed of various kinds of acid t...
