Specimens
Specimens that Leisman figured, described, or studied as part of preparing this publication:
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 Figure number, then by Leisman number, then by type of specimen in this order: coal balls, coal ball peels, microscope slides, spores. The columns are sort-able 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 identified the specimens/materials listed in the table in this publication.
If you are aware of any additional information about theses specimens or the location or status of unverified specimens/material please share them in the Collection Forum or contact us to let us know.
