These datasets compile rock physical properties from outcrops across the Bunger Hills oasis, Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, observed during the 2023–24 austral summer. Records include magnetic susceptibility (κ), radiogenic element concentrations (K, U, Th), and dry bulk density (rho), with station/sample identifiers, WGS84 coordinates, and per-record uncertainties. The compilation is intended to support regional geophysical interpretation and modeling, e.g., gravity-magnetic integration, crustal property mapping, and geothermal assessment. Data are provided as point observations without spatial interpolation.

Dataset 'Petro_chem.xlsx' contains all insitu measurements in the field including calibration measurements (Start of the day: SOD, and End of day: EOD).

Dataset 'DTC34-24_Sus_Density_HP.xlsx' contains density measurements on selected rock samples together with re-measured susceptibility and insitu co-located heat production measurements.
