TCONSAMPLElabel_id
Label identifier: automatically generated, human readable name for a sample that is printed on labels. This name is not guaranteed unique across all samples.
TCONSAMPLEsample_name
Sample name: short name that may be specified for a sample. You can use an advanced filter to narrow your search by this parameter.
TCONSAMPLEx_sample_state
Sample state: Single-character identifier always set to "W" for samples; standards can vary.
TCONSAMPLEx_project
Project: similar in scope to the expedition number, the difference being that the project is the current cruise, whereas expedition could refer to material/results obtained on previous cruises
TCONSAMPLEx_capt_loc
Captured location: "captured location," this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2
TCONSAMPLElocation
Location: location that sample was taken; this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2

TCONSAMPLEstandard
Standard: T/F field to differentiate between samples (standard=F) and QAQC standards (standard=T)
