Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction from redeposited weathered clasts in the CIROS-1 drill core
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2004
Abstract
The occurrence and nature of weathered clasts in the CIROS-1 drill core from McMurdo Sound was recorded. These data showed both associations of weathered material with particular lithofacies and that certain lithologies were preferentially weathered. XRD analysis of weathering rinds from two lithostratigraphic core units suggest that such weathering data can provide evidence of terrestrial palaeoenvironmental conditions that may be otherwise unobtainable.
