The temporality of specimens is a quintessential piece of information 
that undeniably adds research value.  Part of what makes specimens so 
invaluable is the fact that they represent life in a certain form at a 
particular place and time.  However, there are some complications when 
it comes to reporting and comparing collection dates and the ages or 
chronology of ‘modern’ specimens to those from paleontological or 
zooarchaeological relevant time frames.  This Darwin Core Hour aims to 
take a deeper look at some of these complexities, to begin community 
discussions of how these important data should be portrayed in Darwin 
Core, and to provide a starting point for these discussions by 
introducing the Chronometric extension for Darwin Core that is currently 
under development.

However, there are some complications when it comes to reporting the 
collecting dates versus the ages or chronology of ‘modern’, 
paleontological, and zooarchaeological specimens, as well as making 
meaningful comparisons across represented time frames (e.g., modern, 
archaeological, paleontological).
