Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Mounted Peels, Harvard Collection. Plate 37B
Abstract
Cone A (picture 1) and B (picture 2) are immature cordaitean cones containing no pollen. A brown coprolite (picture 4) was identified in cone A and a golden coprolite (picture 3) was identified in the matrix. Plate 37B is a successive peel taken from the same coal ball as 37A.
