Feature type: Spur (2f)
This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A narrow, steep-cliffed rock spur, 3 mi long, descending from southern Wisconsin Plateau between Red Spur and Polygon Spur and terminating at the E side of Olentangy Glacier. Mapped by USGS from surveys and USN air photos, 1960-64. The name was proposed by John H. Mercer, USARP geologist to this area in 1964-65, because tillite extends the length of the spur above its granitic cliffs.
