This project will study two suites of xenolith samples of the                   earth's unexposed crust and mantle brought to the surface in the                western Ross Sea, Antarctica, as inclusions in mafic magma, but                 separated by a time interval of nearly 500 million years.  These                samples offer the opportunity to better understand the geologic                 and tectonic history of the enigmatic Transantarctic Mountains                  region, during both its current uplift phase and its much earlier               history as an orogenic belt.  Constraints regarding the tectonic                history and reconstruction of Gondwanaland should also result as                well as increasing our fundamental knowledge and understanding of               upper mantle and lower crustal composition and evolution.  The                  results of this study will provide critical information for                     completion of cross-sections in the Global Transect Program and                 for interpretations of geophysical data collected internationally               in the Ross Sea.
