Abstract
Fossil plants are the primary means of correlating sedimentary rock sequences in Antarctica of Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic age. A high-resolution zonation will be difficult to attain because of the widespread heating effects of Jurassic diabase intrusions. However, careful stratigraphie collecting from selected sections could greatly improve correlations. Exept for R.A. Askin’s (i.e., Kyle 1977) study in southern Victoria Land in which she compared Antarctic palynomorph floras to those of eastern Australia, no systematic biostratigraphic studies have been attempted. Most plant collections have come from a few isolated localities with only a general knowledge of their stratigraphic position.
