Summary
Abstract: Fossil woods studies found in different Tertiary localities from King George
Island. The principal discovery was found in the Fildes Peninsula ("Fossil
Hill"), Sufiel Point and the surrounding of Collins Glacier. Also the leave
fossil impressions and palynological studies were found at the same localities.
The paleobotany studies have been able to proof the ages of the sediments
proposed by the geological studies. Only 50% of the material collected have
been already studied.

MICROSCOPES Ancillary Description
Quality The wood samples had the following analysis: thin sections for the
petrographycal analysis, scanning electrom microscopy and optical microscopy
analysis. The fossil impression leaves were studies by the comparative
studies with present time leaves. The palynological samples were prepared by
physical and chemical analysis.
