Geography
| Country: | Antarctica |
| Coordinates: | 63.9° South, 58.1° West (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 64.7° South, 48.1° West |
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Altitude: | 30 meters |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kotick Point |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | poorly lithified muddy mudstone |
| Lithology description: The formation is poorly lithified in places and has been intensively bioturbated; graded bedding and concretions are common throughout and parallel and ripple cross lamination are well developed. A notable additional feature of the formation is the widespread occurrence of small- to giant-sized allochthonous blocks of Nordenskjöld Formation. The base of the formation is not exposed and the upper mudstone-dominated strata are overlain conformably by the sandstones and conglomerates of the Whisky Bay Formation. | |
| Environment: | submarine fan |
| Geology comments: The Kotick Point Formation is interpreted as representing slope-apron and submarine fan deposits sourced from the western, fault-bounded basin margin. | |
Taphonomy
