Narrative

A steep-sided, narrow gully about 900 m long on the eastern side of Bainmedart Cove, Radok Lake, in the Prince Charles Mountains. A three-man party from the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey camped near the mouth of the gully for a month in January-February 1969. So named because of the fossil plant found in the top part of the gully.
