The focus of this investigation is the depositional and                         tectonostratigraphic history of the Early Paleozoic paleo-Pacific               margin of Gondwana as seen in the Transantarctic Mountain Chain.                The Cambrian succession of the southern Argentina Range is almost               unknown, but the range occupies a critical position at the Weddell              Sea terminus of the chain, in a region that seems to have been                  fragmented and displaced during the breakup of Gondwana.  the                   sedimentological and faunal history of this sequence will be                    documented and related it to what is known in adjacent ranges.                  Available evidence suggests that a fault with major displacement                separates the Argentina Range from the Shackleton Range such that               Cambrian rocks of deep-water facies lie cratonwards of those laid               down is shallower settings.  Conceivably, one or more suspect                   terranes are present.  In a second area, the complex Early                      Paleozoic deformational history south of the Byrd Glacier,                      suggests that current views of the Skelton Group in its type area               are in error.  These strata may be a Lower Paleozoic sequence                   rather than a deformed Upper Proterozoic unit.  Detailed faunal,                sedimemtological, and radiometric age dating will improve                       understanding of its true age and significance.
