We need to assign a sample type to each row in the dataset.
- Those that have more than one species will be assigned to the existing sample_type_id = 14 = Dating pseudosample
- Those with only one species will be assigned a new sample_type_id number for “Dating Sample”
- figure out how to make this split work automatically
