Abstract
Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, taphonomically degraded (picture 1); cone B, mature (picture 2); cone C, mature (picture 3, left); cone D, mature (picture 3, right), cone E, taphonomically degraded (picture 4, top), cone F, taphonomically degraded (picture 4, bottom), cone G, basal section (picture 5). Plate 58C 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 F are taphonomically degraded
Cones B, C and D are Mature Cones.
