Description
Scotia Metamorphic Complex (2) with abundant interleaved units of ocean floor derived sequences of uncertain (probable Permian - early Jurassic) age. The oceanic elements include marble, amphibolite and epidote amphibolites, metapelite and metachert which were juxtaposed with the Scotia Metamorphic Complex (2) during Late Triassic / early Jurassic deformation at epidote amphibolite facies metamorphic grade. The mixed unit is exposed on Signy Island, Coronation Island and the Inaccessible Islands.
Age
