Intern:Age

A word about geological ages: • For ages, resulting from different analysis (AMS, Lead210, OSL etc) the parameter Age, dated (5506) will be used. • Age models resulting from the interpretations of the datings are imported with ID=6 or 6666 (optional models). • The geocode-age for the calculated age of a certain sample is imported with ID=2205. Each data set needs additional metainformation, to be defined prior to the import in the relevant tables of the data model: - method, defined in the method table - principal investigator (PI), full name with email defined in the staff table - complete reference if data is published or optional a dummy reference for future use. - collect any valuable comments to the reference, the data sets and the data series.

The parameter Age, calculated is used in conjunction with the Advanced Retrieval Tool (ART) only. It is exclusively used by the system to dynamically calculate/interpolate ages from age models during export with ART (configuration under DATA, on the List config card, in the Geocodes list box). DO NOT USE FOR 4D IMPORT !
