Rocks from the project “Evolution of the Pacific margin of the East Antarctic craton in the Proterozoic-Early Paleozoic"
During the IX Italian Antarctic expedition (1993/94), 1066 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Evolution of the Pacific margin of the East Antarctic craton in the Proterozoic-Early Paleozoic" 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, Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Franklin Island ST 57-60/2*, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Relief Inlet SS 58-60/13, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
