Motivation[edit]

The NGMDb items contain links to GEOLEX items, i.e. lithostratigraphic units. This provides info about what lithostratigraphic units the publication describes. The NGMDb Prod ID will serve as references for data for the lithostratigraphic units. Trilotat (talk) 17:32, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
