Provenance Analysis of the Leap Year Group, Northern Victoria Land, East Antarctica.

The Leap Year Group is located within the Bowers terrane, in northern Victoria Land, East Antarctica and comprises quartz‐rich rocks of the Camp Ridge Quartzite and Reilly Conglomerate. Seven samples were analysed, six from the Camp Ridge Quartzite and one from the Reilly Conglomerate, for provenanc...
