| Mount King, Locality A | Kelly S. R. A., Doubleday P. A., et al (2001) | LeMay - Mount King | The position of the mount King beds within a higher lithostratigraphic framework is uncertain at present. The may be assigned to the LeMay Group (Burn 1984) of Alexander Island or to the Trinity Peninsula Group (Aide 1957) of the Antarctic Peninsula, or perhaps represent a completely new lithostratigraphical unit. However, there are problems with each of these alternatives. | mudstone | 330.9 - 315.2 Ma Carboniferous |
