Rocks from the project “Geological survey and sampling of Jurassic volcanics"

During the X Italian Antarctic expedition (1994/95), 42 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Geological survey and sampling of Jurassic volcanics" in northern Victoria Land. They include subvolcanic and volcanic rocks. The investigated regions are within Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16 USGS sheet.
