Meyer Desert Formation biota

The Meyer Desert Formation biota is a fossilized biota (flora and fauna) found in the Dominion Range in the Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica, alongside the Beardmore Glacier.
Since about 15 million years ago (Ma), Antarctica has been mostly covered with ice.
Fossil "Nothofagus" leaves in the Meyer Desert Formation of the Sirius Group show that intermittent warm periods allowed "Nothofagus" shrubs to cling to the Dominion Range as late as 3–4 Ma (mid-late Pliocene). After that the Pleistocene glaciation covered the whole continent with ice and destroyed all major plant life on it.
Species reported by Ashworth and Cantrill from about 3 million years ago include:
