Rocks from the project “Chronologic-dynamic zoning of the Ross Orogen" (PNRA 2004/4.6)
During the XX and XXI Italian Antarctic expeditions (2004/05, 2005/06), 668 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Chronologic-dynamic zoning of the Ross Orogen" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ob' Bay SR 57-58/11, Pomerantz Tableland SR 57-58/10, Relief Inlet SS 58-60/13, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
