Glacimarine strata of the Battye Glacier Formation ( 130 m thick), Pagodroma Group, exposed in the Amery Oasis of East Antarctica, provide a record of Late Miocene palaeoenvironmental conditions in an ice-distal setting. The formation overlies the Amery Erosion Surface ( 300 m to 270 m above sea lev...
