### Bounding Box Columns

A bounding box column MUST be a Parquet group field with 4 child fields named `xmin`, `xmax`, `ymin`, and `ymax` representing the geometry's coordinate range. For three dimensions the additional fields `zmin` and `zmax` MAY be present but are not required. The fields MUST be of Parquet type `FLOAT` or `DOUBLE` and all columns MUST use the same type. The repetition of a bounding box column MUST match the geometry column's [repetition](#repetition). A row MUST contain a bounding box value if and only if the row contains a geometry value. In cases where the geometry is optional and a row does not contain a geometry value, the row MUST NOT contain a bounding box value.
A bounding box column MUST be a Parquet group field with 4 child fields named `xmin`, `xmax`, `ymin`, and `ymax` representing the geometry's coordinate range. As with the top-level [`bbox`](#bbox) column, the values follow the GeoJSON specification (RFC 7946, section 5), which also describes how to represent the bbox for geometries that cross the antimeridian. For three dimensions the additional fields `zmin` and `zmax` MAY be present but are not required. The fields MUST be of Parquet type `FLOAT` or `DOUBLE` and all columns MUST use the same type. The repetition of a bounding box column MUST match the geometry column's [repetition](#repetition). A row MUST contain a bounding box value if and only if the row contains a geometry value. In cases where the geometry is optional and a row does not contain a geometry value, the row MUST NOT contain a bounding box value.

The bounding box column MUST be at the root of the schema. The bounding box column MUST NOT be nested in a group.
