Kinematic data from the basement rocks exposed at Lichen Hills in the upper Rennick Glacier, northern Victoria Land, indicate the presence of an intra-Wilson Terrane late Ross-orogenic high-strain reverse shear zone. ENE directed ductile shearing and WSW-directed late-stage brittle reverse faults ov...
