Geological Sample Outcrop Coordinate Mask Tool

Choose explicit outcrop coordinate text or supplied mask under a disclosure flag without promising location anonymity.

Description

Choose coordinate text or a supplied display mask under a disclosure flag.

Earth-science records distinguish depth signs, vertical datums, before-present ages, calibration factors and specimen definitions. Apparent porosity can be negative for inconsistent density inputs, and core recovery may exceed the drilled interval. Local labels and supplied transformations do not establish geological interpretation, physical validity or actual observation quality.

Choose coordinate text or a supplied display mask under a disclosure flag.

When to use this tool

Use Geological Sample Outcrop Coordinate Mask when you already have coordinateText, publicDisclosure, suppliedMask and need to choose coordinate text or a supplied display mask under a disclosure flag.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter coordinateText, publicDisclosure, suppliedMask. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read displayLocation. Use the output convention below.

Return coordinateText when publicDisclosure=true, otherwise suppliedMask; either text may be empty.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • This changes display only; coordinates are not deleted, generalized or access-controlled and no publication permission is verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use verified survey, sample, sensor and timescale records with consistent units and reference frames. Apply the complete geological, hydrological or physical model when local density ratios, depth spans or calibration terms cannot establish the required interpretation.
