Chemical Analysis tables

  • Should appear on...
    • Subsample details Page
    • View by Chem Analysis Search Results
  • Should give a link to the chemical analysis details page by the point number
  • Should have same behavior as samples tables...
    • Allow user to adjust column width
    • Allow user to choose custom columns (as a cookie??)
    • Should allow sorting by columns (up or down)
  • Should have chemistry given in order given on wiki from left to right with associated precision (if it is available) in the immediate column to the right
  • Should allow all chemical analysis attributes to be displayed
    • including sample and subsample number (which should be links to the details page for those)

For Chemical Analysis Download

Assuming you are downloading a file of a SINGLE chemical analysis. A table of chemical analyses will come in due time.

  • The headers are given on chemical analysis object page. If it requires too much prgramming time to include all these, pare it down to:
    • Sample, subsample, point, oxides, elements, wt%total.

Otherwise, use this (same headers as chemical analysis object page):

SampleSubsamplePointMineralMethodSubsample TypeAnalystSiO2TiO2...other oxides..F...other elementsWeight%Totaletc..
Eh01 1 43 Garnet EPMA Polished Thin SectionSpearF71.342.43etc.1.32etc.100.21etc.
  • All Oxides, then Elements in this order: given on wiki (I know this is probably not happening now)
  • Oxides and elements should be given in wt% (this is stored with the number somehow). If stored as ppm, multiply by 10,000 to get wt%.


  • I recommend this gets downloaded as a tab delimited text file (as samples are) with 2 lines (header and the analysis)
    • Then the user can put files together on a column form spreadsheet
