Representation of the age uncertainty simulation process. Phylogenies with fossils are simulated according to a birth–death–fossilization process. The correct age of each fossil is used to draw an age interval for that fossil from the set obtained from PBDB. This age interval is then used as the basis for the median and random age assignment. A symmetric age interval is also drawn from the correct age.
