Happy holidays from the Polar Rock Repository! We received a present last week- six pallets of precious Antarctic rocks. This unique collection encompasses aspects of the Gondwana Assembly in the late Precambrian to understand Cenozoic glacial history in the Transantarctic Mountains. These rocks also provide valuable context for what lies beneath the mighty East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Thank you to Dr. John Goodge at the University of Minnesota Duluth for this generous donation!
Check back to see what is available as we catalog this collection!
