Abstract
This report presents the location and sources of sediment samples and observational data in the Vestfold Hills (between 68° 23' and 68° 40' S, 77° 50' and 78° 35' E) to provide physical and chemical properties, sedimentary processes, and glacial and marine history of the terrestrial environment. This compilation of samples and observations incorporates data collected from the 1970s to present from published and unpublished sources. Sample locations and types are presented here to make them more readily available for further analysis and interpretation. Samples and observations are presented as point locations and include sample type, analyses, and references to the original data source.

Lineage
Samples and observations are compiled from a review of literature relating to terrestrial samples in the Vestfold Hills. The data relates to physical samples and points of observation (rather than data from multiple analyse of the same samples). Data is from papers in peer reviewed journals, PhD theses, and reports from the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). Each entry to the dataset refers to a physical sample or single observation point, rather than analyses. Some samples have been used in multiple publications and some samples have undergone up to five or six analyses. This is captured in each sample entry. The compilation is divided up by general sample types, such as water samples, sediment samples, sediment cores, salt samples, and observations.
