A dataset created by loading example inputs with load_stratdata_indiv().
This demonstrates the structure of stratigraphic data when stations, sections,
layers, and samples are provided as separate tables and then merged. It shares
many column definitions with example_data_strat but contains a
reduced set of fields.
example_data_indivexample_data_indiv
A data frame with 244 rows and 23 columns:
Character. Name/identifier of the stratigraphic section.
Character. Name/identifier of the stratigraphic layer.
Character. Free‑text description of the layer.
Integer. Order of the layer within the section.
Character. Units for thickness (e.g., "millimeters", "centimeters", "meters").
Numeric. Typical thickness of the layer.
Numeric. Minimum thickness of the layer.
Numeric. Maximum thickness of the layer.
Character. Units for depth (see thickness_units).
Numeric. Absolute depth to the top of the layer.
Numeric. Absolute depth to the bottom of the layer.
Character/Factor. Lithology or depositional type of the layer (e.g., "tephra fall", "soil").
Character. Color description.
Numeric/Character. Grain size at the top of the layer.
Numeric/Character. Grain size at the bottom of the layer.
Character. Source volcano name. If multiple, separated by "|".
Character. Station identifier (links back to station metadata).
Character. Method used for stratigraphic measurement.
Logical. Whether ordering starts at the top.
Numeric. Latitude in decimal degrees.
Numeric. Longitude in decimal degrees.
Character. Collapsed sample identifiers per layer, separated by "|".
List. Nested list column of sample IDs per layer.
