Corrigendum: A Stratigraphic Approach to Inferring Depositional Ages From Detrital Geochronology Data

In the original article, there was a mistake in the published legend for Figures 2 and 3. An indexing error in the computation of the sum in Equation (7) resulted in the labels on values of k_c being off by 1. What was originally labeled k_c = 2 should have been labeled k_c = 1, what was labeled k_c = 3 should have been labeled k_c = 2, and so on. The corrected figures and captions appear below.

Figure 2

Figure 3

There was also an error in the text of the original article related to the above-mentioned errors in the figure legends. This impacted the text in one place. A correction has been made to section 2.2, The Search for the Youngest Grain, paragraph 5, following Equation 7:

In cases where these youngest grains make up 1% or less of all dateable minerals, we would only expect to date three of the same grains 95% of the time if we were to date around 630 grains (Figures 2 and 3).

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
