Field photograph from the Sage Hen Flat area, eastern
California, USA. Columns show a six-point uncertainty scale — with
divisions of no evidence, permissive, suggestive, presumptive, compelling, and certain — as applied
to three different observations (attachedness, geometry, and lithology) that geologists make at each
outcrop.
