Leverett Glacier Area

Van Schmus et al. (1997) also dated zircons and monazites from the Granite Harbor Intrusives of the Leverett Glacier area. The results in Table 6.8 generally confirm that the intrusion of these plutons occurred after the eruption of the volcanic rocks of the Leverett Formation. The analytical data also indicate that some of the samples contain old xenocrystic...

During the 1964/65 field season Velon H. Minshew landed on Mt. Webster in a US Army helicopter that was stationed at the time at a geological field camp (Camp Ohio 11) on the Reedy Glacier (Caloplaca Hills, Antarctica, SVl-10/12, US Geological Survey, 1968, Washington, DC). Mt. Webster in Fig. 6.17 is the principal nunatak in the area north of the Leverett Glacier and is located about 23 km south of Mt. Manke in the Harold Byrd Mountains. Minshew measured a stratigraphic section of the sedimentary and volcanic rocks at Mt. Webster and used these rocks to define the Leverett Formation (Minshew 1967 Mirsky 1969).
