Discovery ofpeperites on Marambio Island, Antarctica, with considerations of their emplacement

The finding of peperite breccias on Marambio Island allows to confirm the existence of at least two different pulses in the instrusion of basaltic dykes within the James Ross Island Volcanic Group. Two important bodies of peperites were recognized at Filo Negro and Geoantar hill. They were formed by...
