Description

Anchor a floating astrochronology to a radioisotopic age. The floating astrochronology is centered on a given ('floating') time datum and assigned the 'anchored' age.

time

'Floating' time datum to center record on. Units should be ka.

age

Radioisotopic age (or othwerwise) for anchoring at floating 'time' datum. Units should be ka.

timeDir

Direction of 'floating' time in input record; 1 = elapsed time towards present; 2 = elapsed time away from present
