This paper reports and discusses the distribution, petrography and mineral chemistry of granule- to boulder-size clasts in the Early Pliocene to Quaternary sedimentary succession recovered by the CIROS-2 drill hole, located near the mouth of the Ferrar Glacier (McMurdo Sound). In the Pliocene interv...
