Rocks from the project “Tectonic history of the Rennick Graben (Antarctica) - International effort for Geology and Aeromagnetic Explorations" (REGGAE, PNRA16_00040)

During the XXXII and XXXIV Italian Antarctic expeditions (2016/17, 2018/19), 91 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the REGGAE project in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and fossil woods. The investigated regions are within Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5 and Mount Soza SR 57-58/15 USGS sheets.
