Rocks from the project “Early Paleozoic geodynamics of northern Victoria Land and implications for Gondwana reconstructions” (PNRA16_00072)

During the XXXIV Italian Antarctic expedition (2018/19), 246 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Early Paleozoic geodynamics of northern Victoria Land and implications for Gondwana reconstructions" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, ultramafic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, 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 and Pomerantz Tableland SR 57-58/10 USGS sheets.
