Term: original geographic location (latitude) (orig_site_lat)

The latitude coordinate of the original geographical origin of the sample, e.g. the original place the sample was buried, deposited, or formed. In cases where the sample was directly sampled in the burial environment for the purposes of scientific investigation, this will be the same as geo_loc_name, and lat_lon. For samples kept in collections, the geo_loc_name and lat_lon terms are used to refer to the collection where the sample is stored, but this term is used for the original geographic location the sample existed in prior to archiving in a collection (i.e., should correspond to orig_site_loc, not the collection itself as recorded in site_name). The values should be reported in decimal degrees, limited to 8 decimal points, and in WGS84 system.
