Abstract

A new lithostrat(graphic unit) Half Three Point Formation is determined on an inlet (62°13' 40'S, 58°59'01 W) near Half Three Point of Fildes Peninsula of King George Island, South Shetland Islands. This formation consists of volcanic breccia, sediment - tuff, tuffaceous siltstones and mudstones about 5.5 thick. The Palynomorph assemblage is a Late Cretaceous age (Campanian - Maastrichtian). Isotopic age of the tuffites by Rb - Sr whole rock method is 71.30(plus, minus)0.3 Ma.
