Late Triassic Vertebrates from the Lashly Formation of Southern Victoria Land

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The SVLVERT data set contains information on the first Late Triassic reptiles from Antarctica.

Description

Fragmentary Late Triassic vertebrate bones were recovered from Mt. Dearborn (S77 12.6 E160 08) in Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica.

The bones are from two reptilian taxa. A small dicynodont synapsid (genus indeterminant) is represented by a single tusk. Three fragments of limb bone shafts probably belong to a small eosuchian type diapsid (genus indeterminant).

The bones occur in the Lashly Formation, Member C, which has been pollen dated as Late Triassic in age. More detailed information can be found in the Program Abstracts, Gondwana II, Correlations and Connections, Aug. 25-30, 2002, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand and in the proceeding from the meeting currently in press, article title: Late Triassic Vertebrate Fossils from Antarctica.
