Rocks from the project “The Triassic-Jurassic depositional and magmatic events of Victoria Land successions (Antarctica) and paleoclimatic variations in the Gondwanian province" (PNRA 2010/A2.10)

During the XXVIII Italian Antarctic expedition (2012/13), 275 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "The Triassic-Jurassic depositional and magmatic events of Victoria Land successions (Antarctica) and paleoclimatic variations in the Gondwanian province" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Reeves Névé SS 55-57/12, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 and Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 USGS sheets.
