This investigation will continue the field, petrological, and                   geochemical study of the early Paleozoic granitic rocks and                     matamorphic rocks which constitute the basement of the                          Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica.  The objectives of this                   study are 1) to understand the petrogenesis of the granitic rocks               as a well exposed example of the worldwide early Paleozoic                      orogenic event, 2) to determine the age and origin of the                       Precambrian pre-batholithic basement terranes, 3) to reconstruct                the early Paleozoic evolution of the Antarctic continental margin               and to integrate it into the evolution of other parts of                        Gondwana.  The methods being employed are field mapping and                     sampling, petrography, major and trace element geochemistry, and                high precision isotopic analyses of Nd, Sr, O, and Pb.  The                     proposed study is a continuation of a systematic study of the                   basement of the Transantarctic Mountains that has been carried                  out previously.                                                                      The central Transarctic Mountains contain early Paleozoic                  batholiths intruded into geosynclinal metasedimentary rocks and                 Precambrian crystalline basement.  The area is of considerable                  interest because it is one of the largest exposures of an early                 Paleozoic continental margin orogenic belt that has not been                    affected by later metamorphic or plutonic events.
