Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Mounted Peels, Harvard Collection. Plate 58B
Abstract
Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, basal section (picture 1, left); cone B, mature (picture 1, right); cone C, mature (picture 2, left); cone D, mature (picture 2, right), cone E, basal section (picture 3), cone F, taphonomically degraded (picture 4), cone G, basal section (picture 5). Plate 58B is a successive peel taken from the same coal ball as other plates labeled 58.
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 slides on loan from the Harvard Paleobotanical Herbarium.
Cones A, E, and G are basal sections.
Cones B, C and D are Mature Cones.
