The Upper Miocene (10.7-9.0 Ma) Battye Glacier Formation was deposited ∼250 km inland from the modern Amery Ice Shelf edge in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica. The composition of clay minerals distinguishes a Lower Member, which reflects regional erosion of Precambrian metamorphic basement, from an Uppe...
