New Figures




I've been working on my paper summarizing my dissertation over the last couple of weeks. It's slow going, but it's getting done. I created new figures for the paper, and I thought I'd post one (top) compared with the equivalent figure in my dissertation (bottom). Science doesn't like a lot of annotation in their figures, so I explain in the caption that diamonds represent Apex chert and circles represent Gunflint chert. When I would show the bottom version of this figure to people, I would always get questions about what the boxes and error bars represent, and I hope that just showing the actual data will make things a bit clearer. What do you guys think?
