The support is x>θ and the probability density function is
f(x)=(x−θ)σ2π​exp[−(log(x−θ)−m)2/(2σ2)]​.

The change of variables z=log(x−θ) proves normalization. The threshold θ is a lower endpoint, distinct from the log-mean m and log-standard-deviation σ. In measured sea-ice pressure ridge spacings, finite ridge widths and detection rules can create such a lower endpoint.
