| Sample identification | ||
|---|---|---|
| id | Unique record identifier | |
| LABNO | Laboratory sample number assigned by the analytical laboratory. | |
| FIELD | Sample field number assigned by the submitter designated in the NAME field. | |
| FULLNAME | LABNO value concatenated with FIELD value | |
| Geographic location | ||
| STATE | The state (or location) in which the sample was collected. | |
| COUNTY | The county in which the sample was collected. | |
| LATITUDE | The latitude of the sample location. | |
| LONGITUDE | The longitude of the sample location. By convention, longitudes west of Greenwich Meridian are negative. | |
| Processing information | ||
| JOBN | Laboratory job number assigned by the analytical laboratory. A given job may have between 1 and 40 samples. | |
| NAME | Name of the individual who submitted the samples to the laboratory for analysis. | |
| SUB__DATE | Date that the samples were submitted to the laboratory for analysis (written as YYYYMMDD) | |
| METHOD | Instrument or technique used to analyze sample | |
| Sample characteristics | ||
| FORMATION | The name of the stratigraphic unit of formation rank or higher, represented by rock, mineral, or coal samples from the United States, Canada, or Mexico. | |
| DESCRIPTIO | Description of the sample material provided by the submitter, indicating any distinguishing characteristics. | |
| CHARACTER_ | Indication of how typical sample is of an area and how it was collected | |
| SOURCE | Type of source material or location | |
| AGE | Age of the sample if known | |
| ROCK_FORM | Type of rock formation from which sample was collected | |
| TEXTURE_ST | Rock texture and structure | |
| QTZ_FELDSP | Relationship between quartz and feldspar in the rock | |
| ROCK_NAME | General rock classification | |
| ECON_GEOL | Mineralization noted by geologist in sample. This field is used to identify samples of ores and (or) related protore, altered material, or other samples of possible economic significance. | |
