This GeoFile releases ages published between 1960 and 2020 in two CSV files and one Microsoft Access file. The CSV files, one for new data (new_age.csv) the other for BCAge data (bc_age.csv), were generated with simplicity, exchangeability, and GIS-readiness in mind. They contain sample location coordinates, age, and numerous other primary attributes. The Microsoft Access database file (geochron_db.accdb) includes entities, relationships, and data that mirror the operating BCGS system.
