Fig. 1. Location of Prydz Bay, with ODP sites from legs 119 and 188 and diagrammatic section based on seismic reflection profiles across the continental margin and ODP Leg 119 and 188 drill sites. Arrows indicate ice flow directions (redrawn from O'Brien et al. (2007), O'Brien and Harris (1996) Last glacial maximum (LGM) grounding zone wedges from Domack et al. (1998), flutes from (O'Brien et al., 2007) and (O'Brien et al., 1999)).

Fig. 2. Magnetostratigraphic record from Site1167A. The palaeomagnetic inclination is shown after demagnetization at 30 mT for the split cores (solid line) along with ChRM data for stepwise-demagnetised discrete samples (open circles). Inclinations for discrete samples were determined by linear regression fits to multiple demagnetization steps. Polarity is shown on the log to the right. Black (white) = normal (reversed) polarity. Shading indicates intervals with no core recovery. The depths of nannofossil assemblages and Sr datum are from O'Brien et al. (2004). The GPTS is from Cande and Kent, (1995).

Fig. 3. Core recovery, lithostratigraphic column, age and downcore variations of low-field magnetic susceptibility, ARM, IRM for Site 1166 (modified after Florindo et al., 2003). mbsf is metres below seafloor.

Fig. 4. Map of the Prydz Bay region showing ice drainage paths, locations of Battye Glacier formation and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drill sites (modified from Erohina et al., 2004, and Ehrmann et al., 2003).

Fig. 5. Core recovery, downcore variations in the concentration-dependent parameters (low-field magnetic susceptibility, IRM) and ARM/IRM ratio at Site 1167A. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility for five representative samples is shown on the right. The data are corrected for the diamagnetism of the oven.

Fig. 6. The mineralogy, porosity, sand (> 63 μm) content and grain densities for ODP Site 1167. The lithological column to the left is from (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001a), (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001b), (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001c) and (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001d). Notice the interval without cores around 130 mbsf. The minerals are plotted from left to right as according to the lists (line by line).

Fig. 7. The mineralogy, porosity, sand (> 63 μm) content, grain densities, shear strengths, past maximum and present overburden stress (p'_c and p'₀), and overconsolidation ratio (OCR) for Site 1166. The lithological column to the left is from (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001a), (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001b), (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001c) and (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001d). The minerals are plotted from left to right as according to the lists (line by line).

Fig. 8. Tentative correlations between Sites 1166 and 742. The shear strength and grain densities for Site 742 are also included for comparison to Fig. 6.

Fig. 10. Data from list of Lonestones ([Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001a], [Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001b], [Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001c] and [Shipboard Scientific Party, 2001d]) replotted for each subunit. The lefthand panel shows lonestones/metre and the righthand panel the percent lonestones within each subunit.
