41: 34: 460: 232: 224: 488: 448:. A large mountain, 2,555 metres (8,383 ft) high, with a broad icecapped summit, standing south of the Lashly Mountains, on the south side of the main stream of the Skelton Glacier where it leaves the polar plateau. Discovered by the New Zealand party of the CTAE (1956-58) who named it because of its association with The Portal. Portal Mountain is the southernmost area of the Feather and Lashly geological formation. 472: 798: 691: 266:. It is a sandstone and siltstone sequence containing plant remains that overlies the Feather conglomerate. It appears to conform with the underlying conglomerate in areas, with local areas of disconformity. The Aztec Siltstone appears to have been deposited on a flat alluvial plain that held streams, swamps, lakes and low emergent areas. 283:, silica plant microfossils, have been found in four samples collected from the east side of a ridge that extends southeast from Mount Crean. The phytoliths in the two Aztec Siltstone samples were probably from 802: 695: 723:
