Rocks from the project “WIBEM (Wilkes Basin Eastern Margin): geophysical exploration of the eastern margin of the Wilkes Basin" (WIBEM, PNRA 2002/3.9)

During the XIX Italian Antarctic expedition (2003/04), 100 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the WIBEM project in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
