The Sandow Group in the Denman Glacier area consists of low-grade supracrustal (post-cratonic) strata. Such rocks are scarce and poorly studied in East Antarctica, but are significant for a better understanding of the geological history and tectonic evolution of the Precambrian supercontinents. We r...
