Glacimarine strata of the Battye Glacier Formation, Pagodroma Group, exposed in the Amery Oasis of East Antarctica, provide a record of late Miocene paleoenvironmental conditions in an ice-distal setting. The formation overlies the Amery Erosion Surface that formed during an advance of the Lambert Glacier into Prydz Bay (ODP Site 739), at least 750 km further north than today. (modified journ. abst.)
