Petrographic and X-ray Diffraction analyses data

[SolidRockProgrammer]

Dave asked: Does the New AGS format allow the inclusion of Petrographic and X-ray Diffraction analyses data (mineral quantities) to be captured in the dataset?

This new groups was added in AGS 4.1.0 AU 1.0

Upon futher thought, I think we need a child group listing Mineral Name and Proportion %
