Late Miocene vegetation and palaeoenvironments of the Drygalski Formation, Heard Island, Indian Ocean: evidence from palynology. Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12168)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract : Well sorted, fine lithic sandstone within the Drygalski Formation at Cape Lockyer on the … southern tip of Heard Island, preserves a diverse terrestrial palynoflora as well as marine diatoms and a few … foraminifera. A combination of these elements suggests a Late Miocene age (10–5 Ma).

A review of the Cenozoic stratigraphy and glacial history of the Lambert Graben-Prydz Bay region, East Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 2006 (Ref: 12660)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz … Bay–Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion surfaces record at least 10 intervals … of glacial advance (with accompanying erosion and sediment compaction)…
