Specimens
Specimens that Leisman and his collaborators said came from or implied were from, this locality that we are aware of are:
Currently all specimens that we are aware of from this locality are in the Leisman Collection in the L. R. Wilson Paleobotany and Micropaleontology Collection, Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, Norman, Oklahoma, United States (OMNH).
Before any sorting, we list the specimens numerically by Leisman number, then by type of specimen in this order: coal balls, coal ball peels, microscope slides, cones, sporangium and spores. The columns are sortable by clicking on the heading. The first click to a heading sorts them alphabetically (A to Z)/numerically (1-25). The second click to heading sorts them reverse alphabetically (Z to A)/numerically (25-1). The third click to heading brings back to original sort order.
We are aware that Leisman and his collaborators identified the specimens/materials listed in the table as coming from this locality.
If you are aware of any additional specimens that Leisman or any of his collaborators said were from this locality please share them in the Collection Forum or contact us to let us know even if they are at another repository.
