Value
A dataframe
containing the following columns:
-
col_id
: The unique identification number of the Macrostrat column containing the section. -
col_area
: The area of the associated Macrostrat column in km2. -
section_id
: The unique identification number of the Macrostrat section. -
project_id
: The unique identification number of the Macrostrat project. -
max_thick
: The maximum thickness of the section, in meters. -
min_thick
: The minimum thickness of the section, in meters. -
t_age
: The age of the top of the section, estimated using the continuous time age model, in millions of years before present. -
b_age
: The age of the bottom of the section, estimated using the continuous time age model, in millions of years before present. -
pbdb_collections
: The number of PBDB collections contained within the section. -
lith
: adataframe
containing the lithologies present within the section, with the following columns:-
name
: The named lithology (e.g., "sandstone"). -
type
: The named lithology type (e.g., "siliciclastic"). -
class
: The named lithology class (e.g., "sedimentary"). -
prop
: The proportion of the lithology within the section, calculated from the individual Macrostrat units within the section. -
lith_id
: The unique identification number of the lithology.
-
-
environ
: adataframe
containing the environments present within the section, with the following columns:-
name
: The named environment (e.g., "delta plain"). -
type
: The named environment type (e.g., "siliciclastic"). -
class
: The named environment class (e.g., "marine"). -
prop
: The proportion of the environment within the section, calculated from the individual Macrostrat units within the section. -
environ_id
: The unique identification number of the environment.
-
-
econ
: adataframe
containing the economic attributes present within the section, with the following columns:-
name
: The named economic attribute (e.g., "gold"). -
type
: The named economic attribute type (e.g., "mineral"). -
class
: The named economic attribute class (e.g., "precious commodity"). -
prop
: The proportion of the economic attribute out of all economic attributes contained within the section, calculated from the individual Macrostrat units within the section. -
econ_id
: The unique identification number of the economic attribute.
