Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Unmounted Peels, Wild Cones. Peel 19C

Abstract

Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, mature (picture 1); cone B, basal section (picture 2, left); cone C, basal section (picture 3, bottom left); cone D, mature (picture 3, bottom left); cone E, basal section (picture 3, top right). Cone D contains a large pollen mass in the cone. Plate 19C is a successive peel taken from the same coal ball as other plates labeled 19.
