Notes:(i) individual: A single lava flow at a single outcrop, a single sediment horizon at a single outcrop, a single level in one core, a single archeological horizon seen as continuous at one place. (a) an average value over multiple places over multiple outcrops that are averaged together as one site because they are thought to be of the same age due to geochemical, age, morphology, weathering characteristics, historical records, geological mapping, etc. (s) stacked: used for bore hole data where data from multiple cores of what is determined to be the same time horizon have been averaged, or (m) model derived data.
