Taxonomic Diagnosis from Leisman 1962, p. 355:
“Axis with cortex of thick-walled cells, with distinct, parallel, vertical strands of slightly thicker-walled cells. Exarch siphonostele. Metaxylem scalariform; bars with a tendency to bifurcate and to become reticulate. No fine vertical striations between the scalariform bars. No distinct corona. No secondary wood. Traces depart from stele at low angle and pass through cortex at about a 35° angle. Areas of decay around traces arranged in alternating verticels.
Fertile portions with small sporangia (not in excess of 6.5 mm). Sporangium wall one cell thick except near possible attachment region. Wall cells rectangular and elongated with plane of the wall. Spore conspecific with Spencerisporites gracilis (Zerndt) Winslow.”

Specimens
Specimens that Leisman identified, implied were, or said contained Spencerites moorei (Cridland 1960) Leisman emend. 1962 that we are aware of are:
Many of theses specimens are now in the L. R. Wilson Paleobotany and Micropaleontology Collection, Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, Norman, Oklahoma, United States. However, some are in other repositories/collections.
We use the following abbreviations in describing the repository (usually either a museum or university collection) that the specimens/material are owned and stored:
OMNH = Leisman Collection in the L. R. Wilson Paleobotany and Micropaleontology Collection, Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, Norman, Oklahoma, United States
KUPB = Paleobotany Collection, Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, United States
WUSTL = Collection, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, United States (unverified if collection still exists and abbreviation created for tracking purposes only)
Note: Abbreviations are the same as those listed in The Global Registry of Biodiversity Repositories (GRBio) unless no registered abbreviation or collection code was listed which are noted.
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 Spencerites moorei (Cridland 1960) Leisman emend. 1962 in the specimens/materials listed in the table.
If you are aware of any other specimens that Leisman and his collaborators said were Spencerites moorei (Cridland 1960) Leisman emend. 1962 please share them in the Collection Forum or contact us to let us know.
