Goal
Enter "research grade" standard marine mammal measurements.

Context
See https://github.com/ArctosDB/data-migration/issues/1336

This is what are Cetacean and Pinniped data sheets look like.

CetaceanSheet_back
CetaceanSheet_front
PinnipedSheet

Table
https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctattribute_type

Proposed Value
Before we start proposing individual values, we will need to determine if any current values can be used, however, this would add a lot of new attributes, will this make all mammal collections nuts? Do we need to do something different than creating a new "length" type attribute for these specific measurements?

Proposed Definition
See above

Collection type
Mamm

Attribute data type
free-text, categorical, or number+units depending upon the attribute (TBA)

Attribute value
[ For categorical attributes, code table controlling value ]

Attribute units
[ For number+units attributes, code table controlling units ]

Available for Public View
Yes

Priority
[ Please choose a priority-label to the right. ]
We are working to get Cal Poly Humboldt data in before July - would be nice if we can get this ball rolling.

"research grade"

Ever measure a walrus in the surf?

@amgunderson will have dealt with this kind of data, at least some of them exist as attributes (curvilinear length), one possibility is some kind of object stored as one attribute.

Attributes need individual type requests.
