@Nicole-Ridgwell-NMMNHS I'll work on the handbook page this afternoon. It would be great if you could put together the definitions!
Here are the definitions I put together:
biostratigraphic zone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biozone
Eon/Eonothem: chronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
Era/Erathem: chronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
informal chronostratigraphy: published chronostratigraphic units that are not in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart, for example, regional chronostratigraphies
landholder: the legal landowner or government land administration agency
lithodemic suite: a unit of lithodemic stratigraphy (describes bodies of rock which do not conform to the law of superposition)
lithostratigraphic bed: a named lithostratigraphic bed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed_(geology)
lithostratigraphic formation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_formation
lithostratigraphic group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(stratigraphy)
lithostratigraphic member:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratigraphic_unit#Member
locality access: setting this attribute to private makes the locality invisible to anyone without access to your collection
Series/Epoch: chronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
site found: the date and the agent(s) who originally found and reported the locality to a collecting institution
site identifier: any identifiers assigned to a site or locality that are in addition to locality_name
Stage/Age: chronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
Substage/Subage: chronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
System/Period: cchronostratigraphic units in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart https://stratigraphy.org/chart
TRS aliquot: quarter sections units of the Public Land Survey System
TRS range: 6 mile east-west units of the Public Land Survey System
TRS section: 1 square mile units of the Public Land Survey System
TRS township: 6 mile north-south units of the Public Land Survey System
And - I just realized that biostratigraphy and biochronology ended up lumped together.
Added those definitions to the code table and the documentation. Thanks!!!!

The basic unit of biochronology is the biostratigraphic zone, or biozone, a collection of fossils found together in a rock unit. The following biozone groups are available in Arctos:
Should be The basic unit of biochronology is the biochron, a collection of fossils found together in a rock unit. The following biochron groups are available in Arctos:
Chronostratigraphy is the branch of geologic stratigraphy in which strata . . .
Should be Chronostratigraphy is the branch of geologic stratigraphy in which units . . .
In the list of Chronostratigraphy units we should switch some around so they are consistantly Chronostrat/Geochron, so: Eonothem/Eon Erathem/Era System/Period Series/Epoch Stage/Age And for definitions of these, we can just link to wikipedia.
Lithostratigraphy is the branch of geologic stratigraphy in which stata . . .
Should be Lithostratigraphy is the branch of geologic stratigraphy in which units . . .
I think we can entirely remove petrology from the documentation, we don't have any petrology code tables at the moment.
In the list of Chronostratigraphy units we should switch some around so they are consistantly Chronostrat/Geochron, so: Eonothem/Eon Erathem/Era System/Period Series/Epoch Stage/Age
but the terms currently in the document reflect how terms are presented in the code table....
otherwise, I made the edits. Thanks!
reflect how terms are presented in the code table
Ugh, I hadn't noticed that and I assume that is not an easy change. If so, then lets just leave it like it is for now.
@Nicole-Ridgwell-NMMNHS is this documentation resolved? Please go ahead and close this issue if so!
We need to add documentation for the new locality attributes. We need to update here;
https://handbook.arctosdb.org/documentation/geology.html Maybe update title of this page to Locality Attributes (incl. Geology)
and here:
https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctlocality_attribute_type
I can work on compiling the definitions for the locality attribute code table.
