Rocks from the project “Cenozoic magmatism in the area north of Tucker Glacier, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica"

During the XV, XVI and XVII Italian Antarctic expeditions (1999/2000, 2000/01, 2001/02), 259 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Cenozoic magmatism in the area north of Tucker Glacier, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Adare SR 59-60/13*, Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 and Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9 USGS sheets.
