Process_Step: Process_Description: Samples for TOC analysis were thawed, large shells and anumals were removed, and the samples were homogenized. The samples were dried, ground, and vapor acidified to remove the carbonates. Analyses were performed on a Perk and Elmer 2400 CHN Analyzer.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. Additional small edits including (but not limited to) such as adding the edition element were perfomed on the metadata. Author names were edited to remove "ed." and "comp". Added links to access the data including the DOI link. Added USGS Thesaurus keywords. Added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword (PID). Fixed the ellipsoid name to agree with the datum. Fixed the denominator of flattening ratio. The Ztoc_ attribute was updated to be an enumerated domain specifying the specific values. The definition was based on information in Chapter 5 of the Larger Work citation, particularly Figure 3. The units defined in the figure were compared to the shapefile with the map legend definition applied in the attribute value. Updated the distribution liability. The distribution format name was modified in an attempt to be more consistent with other metadata files of the same data format. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. A generic email in the metadata contact was used, along with adding contact instructions. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
