Rocks from the project “Crustal accretion in northern Victoria Land: structure, metamorphism, kinematics and chronology of the junction between Wilson, Bowers and Robertson Bay terranes"

During the XII Italian Antarctic expedition (1996/97), 721 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Crustal accretion in northern Victoria Land: structure, metamorphism, kinematics and chronology of the junction between Wilson, Bowers and Robertson Bay terranes" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Ebbe Glacier SR 57-58/16, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ob' Bay SR 57-58/11 and Yule Bay SR 57-58/12 USGS sheets.
