They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9 and Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5 USGS sheets.

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.
