Marsh Spur

Marsh Spur (65°53′S 62°38′W / 65.883°S 62.633°W / -65.883; -62.633) is a spur about 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) south of Bildad Peak and 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) west of Scar Inlet on the east side of Graham Land. The spur is important geologically for the contact between Basement Complex gneisses and volcanics of probable Upper Jurassic age. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Anthony F. Marsh, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist at Fossil Bluff and Hope Bay, 1963-65.
