Rock samples of Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, 2013-14 season
This entry is for the rock samples of Northern Victoria Land (NVL), Antarctica collected in 2013-14 austral summer season. The collection includes sedimentary rocks (sandstone, limestone, conglomerate, and so on) of the Lower Paleozoic Bowers and Beacon supergroups, metamorphic rocks of the Wilson Terrane, and volcanic rocks of the McMurdo Volcanics. The samples were collected in order to understand the lithologic characters of basement rocks underneath the glaciers. Information on stratigraphy, metamorphism, and volcanism will be helpful for understanding geological processes and paleoenvironments of the Northern Victoria Land.
