Abstract
Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, basal section (picture 1, top); cone B, taphonomically degraded (picture 1, right); cone C, basal section (picture 1, left). A single golden coprolite was identified in cone C (picture 2).
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 and B are basal sections.
Cone C is taphonomically degraded containing a single golden coprolite.
