The mineralogy of the lower Oligocene (to possibly upper Eocene) sediments of core CRP-3 drilled on the continental shelf of McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, has been examined by the X-ray diffraction method. Quartz, plagioclase K- feldspar and pyroxene are the most important non-clay mine...
