This report documents phytoliths (siliceous plant fossils) in 16 samples from the Cape Roberts Project core (CRP-1), including the first record of two phytolith forms from monocotyledons (Chionochloid (spool) and Elongate) in Antarctica. The phytoliths found are compared with those extracted from ex...
