Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Mounted Peels, Harvard Collection. Plate 38B
Abstract
Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, basal section (picture 1) and cone B, a taphonomically degraded cone (picture 2). Cone A contained 5 brown coprolites within its cone scales (picture 3). Plate 38B is a successive peel taken from the same coal ball as 38A.
Description
