This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic 14C in quartz for cobbles collected from a series of nunataks (Turtle Rock, Notebook Cliffs, scoria cone) proximal to Mount Murphy, a volcanic edifice located between Pope and Thwaites glaciers, West Antarctica. The cobbles were collected during the 2015-2016 Antarctic field season. The dataset includes 13 cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure ages and all field (location, elevation, shielding, thickness) and analytical laboratory data required to calculate in situ 14C exposure ages. Analytical data includes quartz sample mass, total CO2 liberated from the sample, delta-13C, 14C/12C AMS ratios and 14C/12C AMS ratios of procedural blanks. Funding source: Natural Environment Research Council (NERC): Grants NE/S006710/1, NE/S006753/1 and NE/K012088/1 and National Science Foundation (NSF): Grant: OPP-1738989. The dataset is a component of the "Geological History Constraints" project of the NERC-NSF funded International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC).
