Description: Das Projekt "Initiation des Magmatismus der jurassischen Ferrar Gruppe in Nord Viktoria Land, Antarktis: - stratigraphisches Alter, Zusammensetzung und Ablagerungsmilieu der vulkaniklastischen und epiklastischen Sedimente der Exposure Hill und Section Peak Format" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Institut für Geowissenschaften durchgeführt. The aim of this multidisciplinary project including igneous petrology, sedimentology, paleozoology and paleobotany is to reconstruct the chronology of events preceding the eruption of thick Jurassic plateau lavas (183 Ma, Ferrar Large Igneous Province) in North Victoria Land, Antarctica. The investigations focus on Triassic to Lower Jurassic siliciclastic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Beacon Supergroup directly underlying the Ferrar lavas. The results will lead to a new concept of the initiation of magmatism in the Ferrar Large Igneous Province and will improve our understanding of early Gondwana break-up. The Field work was carried out during the 9th German North Victoria Land Expedition (GANOVEX IX) 2005/2006, which was operated by the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe, Hannover. Representative outcrops of the up to 300 m thick succession of siliciclastic and volcaniclastic rocks were documented in the southern part of North Victoria Land (Eisenhower Range, Deep Freeze Range, Mesa Range, southern Rennick Glacier, Outback Nunataks).
