Greenlee Formation

The sediment was deposited near-shore in shallow water of a basin that was slowly subsiding. The sediment was derived from an area of low relief as weathering products of granitic rocks. The rocks of the Greenlee Formation dip south at 45° to nearly 90° and may form the limb of a major fold, the axis of which presumably trends east-west. Wade and Cathey (1986) estimated that the thickness of the Greenlee Formation exceeds 13 km provided that the exposure along the Shackleton Glacier is a continuous sequence without repetitions. 

However, Stump (1986) stated that the thickness of the Greenlee Formation along the west side of the Shackleton Glacier does not exceed 1,0(X) m. 

The original shales of the Greenlee Formation were first converted to slates, phylhtes, and schists during an episode of low-temperature tectonic deformation during which the limestones partly crystallized to marble. Subsequently, the rocks were heated during... 

The overlying Taylor Formation consists of ashfall and ashflow tuffs, felsic and mafic lava flows, and marbles. Wade and Cathey (1986) placed the contact of the Taylor Formation with the underlying Greenlee Formation at about 6 km south of the northern tip of Mt. Greenlee (Fig. 5.16). The contact is obscured by the brecciation and hydrothermal alteration of the Greenlee Formation manifested by the crystallization of epidote.

When chlorine is used as an oxidant, sodium bisulphite can be used for dechlorination. However, even after the process of dechlorination, free residual chlorine (FRC) may be present in the discharge. The sodium bisulphite used for dechlorination may also cause low levels of dissolved oxygen in the concentrate. For processes which use ozone, not only must it be removed to prevent damage to oxidant sensitive membranes, but also to prevent the formation of bromate, a known carcinogen, in waters containing bromide (Greenlee et al. 2009).

Fig. 5.16 The Gerasimou Glacier, Epidote Peak, Mt. Greenlee, and Taylor Nunatak in the central part of the Shackleton Glacier are the principal landmarks that identify the type section of the Greenlee and Taylor formations and of the Henson Marble which constitute the Byrd Group of this area.

The beds of the Taylor Formation exposed along the southern spur of Mt. Greenlee dip south at 40-70° and appear to reach a thickness of about 5.7 km. Additional outcrops of the Taylor Formation occur on Taylor Nunatak (84°44 S, 176°10 W) and on Waldron Spur which is located on the east side at the mouth of the Shackleton Glacier (Wade and Cathey 1986).
