The Marsh Spur is a mountain ridge not far from the Oskar II coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 7 km south of Bildad Peak and just as far west of Scar Inlet . The mountain ridge consists of complex gneiss and volcanic rock from the Upper Upper Jurassic .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1976 after the geologist Anthony Frank Marsh (* 1941) of the British Antarctic Survey , who worked at Fossil Bluff and Hope Bay between 1963 and 1965 .
