Detailed Description

Ross Ice Shelf Tectonic Setting: a) A simplified tectonic map showing the position of the newly mapped tectonic boundary beneath the Ross Ice Shelf, within a generalized tectonic reconstruction of the Mesozoic convergent margin of the Gondwana supercontinent, and b) A geological–tectonic cross-section across the Ross Ice Shelf region.  Figure 2 from Tinto and others, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-019-0370-2.
