Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Unmounted Peels, Wild Cones. Plate 3B
Abstract
Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, immature (picture 1); cone B, taphonomically degraded (picture 2, left); cone C, basal section (picture 3, right). A single golden coprolite and 3 brown coprolites were identified in the matrix. Plate 3B is a successive peel taken from the same coal ball as plate 3A.
Description
These images were used in the research for a master's thesis from the Texas A&M University Dept. of Geology and Geophysics (Date of submission: May 2020).Images were taken from unmounted peels of coal balls.
Cones A is an immature cone.
Cone B is a degraded cone.
Cone C is a basal section.
Peels were made by Anne Raymond, the advisor for this thesis.
