Rocks from the project “Earth Sciences. Structural geology"
During the II Italian Antarctic expedition (1986/87), 885 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Earth Sciences. Structural geology" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The Bowers Terrane is reached for the first time. The investigated regions are within Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Reeves Nevé SS 55-57/12, Relief Inlet SS 58-60/13 and Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 USGS sheets.
