From form: Fix Age-Depth Plot - calendar vs. radiocarbon yrs #4
Description
The age-depth plot in Neotoma Explorer sometimes shows a mismatch between the age controls (dots) and age models (red line). This is usually because the dates are in radiocarbon years and the age model is in calendar years. We should always be plotting age controls and age models on the same temporal scale.

The issue arises from how radiocarbon chron controls are stored in Neotoma. Neotoma allows Chron Controls to be stored as a) radiocarbon dates or as b) calibrated radiocarbon dates. The Chronology age-depth plotter is pulling these dates as is, which for a) will cause visual misalignment with the calibrated-year age-depth redline. A good example is Lake Tulane and its four chronologies.
