Abstract
AbstractBryozoans were found in upper Cenozoic diamictite debris that crops out at the southwestern tip of Cape Lamb, Vega Island. The diamictite is the youngest deposit on the island and richly composed of foraminifers, brachiopods and scallops. The foraminifera assemblage recovered from the Cape Lamb diamictite and87Sr/86Sr isotopic age obtained from the pectinidAdamussium colbeckiin the nearby locality of Terrapin indicates a Pleistocene age for this deposit. The main goal of this contribution is to present a bryozoan assemblage ofMicroporella stenoportaHaywardetTaylor,Hippothoa flagellumManzoni,Ellisina antarctica(Kluge),Micropora notialisHaywardetRyland and an indeterminate crisiid constituting the first record of these bryozoan taxa in Cenozoic diamictites of the Antarctic Peninsula.
