Define stratigraphic name concepts
Description
A function to retrieve the definitions for stratigraphic name concepts. By default, all stratigraphic name concept definitions are returned.
Usage
def_strat_name_concepts(strat_concept_name = NULL, strat_concept_id = NULL)
Arguments
strat_concept_name |
|
strat_concept_id |
|
Details
Stratigraphic name concepts consist of grouped strat_name
s which
represent the same geologic entity. This may be due to stratigraphic names
appearing in multiple reference maps or at multiple lithostratigraphic
ranks.
Value
A data.frame
containing the following columns:
-
concept_id
: The unique identification number for the stratigraphic name concept, which groups variantstrat_name
s for same geologic entity. -
name
: The name of the stratigraphic name concept. -
geologic_age
: The geologic age information assigned to the stratigraphic name concept, as defined in the original reference in plain text. -
int_id
: The unique identification number of the chronostratigraphic interval associated with the stratigraphic name concept (seedef_intervals()
). -
b_int_id
: The unique identification number of the bottom (oldest) chronostratigraphic interval associated with the stratigraphic name concept (seedef_intervals()
). -
t_int_id
: The unique identification number of the top (youngest) chronostratigraphic interval associated with the stratigraphic name concept (seedef_intervals()
). -
usage_notes
: Notes on the current validity of the stratigraphic name concept, in plain text. -
other
: Other associated notes on the stratigraphic name concept, in plain text. -
province
: The provinces where the stratigraphic name concept appears, in plain text. -
refs
: The unique identification number of the reference from which the stratigraphic name concept was sourced (seedef_references()
). -
url
: The URL associated with the stratigraphic name concept, where additional information, the source or contributing publication can be found. -
author
: The authors of the source reference.
