Extract

Considerable controversy surrounds the biostratigraphic and palaeoclimatic interpretation of Antarctic marine Pliocene sequences (Webb & Harwood 1991). The object of this note is to document and reassess a marine Pliocene diatom assemblage from the Larsemann Hills and to discuss its significance with respect to other Antarctic Neogene deposits.
