Notes on verification
Definition confirmed by multiple authoritative sources including the International Commission on Stratigraphy's official guide, a geosciences textbook, and other reference materials, all consistent and non-contradicted. [tier=bronze indep_score=0.3 clusters=3 claim_tier=everyday]
