A description of the lithology that makes up asubsidiary portion of the overall observed zone or sample.This property would be used where the lithology is observed to be distinct from the primary lithology, for example where a zone is interbedded or the component lithology occurs in inclusions or in a specific part of the zone but is otherwise not separated out, This property can also be used in soil descriptions, where lithologic components such as sand, gravel and fines where specific details about the components (eg. silty sand with gravel) are recorded and therefore the use of the constituent property is not sufficient.

In reference to unconsolidated soils or sedimentaryrocks, this property describes certain conditions of sedimentationthat reflect a particular process or depositional environment. Someexamples might be alluvium, dune sand, river terrace deposits,hemipelagic sediment, etc. Facies designations do not imply anyorder within a stratigraphic column. Facies terms used to defineinformal geologic units that occur in stratigraphic order (eg. unitsdo not repeat within a stratigraphic column) should be reported in aStratigraphySystem. For metamorphic rocks, this property is used todescribe a set of mineral assemblages that form under similarpressures and temperatures (eg. zeolite facies, blueschistfacies).

Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
A legacy attribute to support AGS trial pit sampling featureswhere observations of different stratum may occur at the same depth in apit. It is a reference letter or number whose sole purpose is to linkthe stratum shown on a face sketch of the trial pit to the specificobservation.
