Bi-directional rifting of the Transantarctic Mountains during the Jurassic: stress state determined by the pattern of dike emplacement

The orientation patterns of Jurassic Ferrar Dolerite dikes in the Transantarctic Mountains were analyzed in this study. The dikes display a consistent pattern throughout the South Victoria Land Sector of the Transantartic Mountains. The typical pattern displayed is a north-south set of dikes and an...
