Rocks from the project “Cenozoic geodynamics in the Ross Sea area: magmatism and tectonic evolution"
During the IX Italian Antarctic expedition (1993/94), 376 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Cenozoic geodynamics in the Ross Sea area: magmatism and tectonic evolution" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Reeves Névé SS 55-57/12 and Relief Inlet SS 58-60/13 USGS sheets.
