Radioisotope dates and carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope values from modern and mummified Adélie Penguin chick carcasses and tissue from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
This data set contains measurements of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope values of feather, skin, bone, and toenail samples of mummified Adélie penguin chick remains excavated from multiple sites around the Ross Sea region of Antarctica between 2004 and 2016, as well as the same measu...
