Carbonate-bearing slope strata are reported from the upper Miaolingian-lower Furongian Spurs Formation in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, deposited in a backarc basin during the Ross Orogeny. The Spurs Formation consists mainly of shale interbedded with conglomerate and sandstone. It overlies th...
