7.5.3 Ohio Range, Horlick Mountains

Work continued in 1960-1963 in the Ohio Range (formerly called the Central Range of the Horlick Mountains) to procure coal for accurate analysis. Samples of outcrop coal and one excellent sample of coal from an adit opened in one bed were collected. Coal samples were taken in 1959 by John J. Mulligan (31) at Mount Gran in the vicinity of Frank Debenham and McKenzie Taylor s old Mount Suess locality. The following season Mulligan (32) sampled coal farther inland in the Willett Range. Brown and Taylor (6) published an analytic report on coal from the Theron Mountains in 1961.

The Antarctic coal samples are reportedly of Permian age and were collected in 1957 as part of the Antarctic exploration program of the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies. The bulk of the samples are from two localities shown in Figure 1 (1) the Terrace Ridge in the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains, and (2) Mount Gran in the Granite Harbour area of South Victoria Land. In each instance the coals were sampled from each of the accessible coal seams in the stratigraphic sequence exposed. Thus, these sam-...

Fig. 8.8 The basement rocks of the Neptune Range in the Pensacola Mountains consist of the isoclinally folded metasedimentary rocks of the Hannah Ridge Formation (defined by Rowell et al. 2001) which is unconformably overlain by the Nelson Limestone (late Middle Cambrian) followed by the Gambacorta Rhyolite and the Wiens Formation (Cambro-Ordovician). These basement rocks were locally intruded by the Serpan Granite and by the hypabyssal Mount Hawkes Porphyry. The Paleozoic sedimentary rocks include the Gale Mudstone which is a trUite of Permian age which resembles the Buckeye Tillite of the Beacon Supergroup in the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains (Adapted from Schmidt and Ford 1969 with information from Stump 1995)...

The Beacon rocks occur not only in southern Victoria Land in Fig. 10.4 but characterizes the Transantarctic Mountains from northern Victoria Land to the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains. They continue from there to the far-eastern mountains described in Chapter 8 including the Pensacola Mountains, the Shackleton Range, the Theron Mountains, and even the Kottas Mountains on the coast of the Weddell Sea in Queen Maud Land (Poscher 1989 Barrett 1991).
