Allow the inclusion of geologic dates #1637

Open laijasmine opened 3 years ago

Describe the feature you'd like The web form currently only allows for calendarDates in the Date tab. We should allow users to add the Time scale (Absolute', 'Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale', 'International Geological Time Scale', 'Oxygen-Isotope') and Time estimate (10 Million years) to the Temporal coverage.

We might want to allow the user to pick if they want to use a calendar date or alternative time scale and have of instructions for formatting that information.

Additional context Example dataset with geologic dates: https://doi.org/10.18739/A2D795B3Q.
