Description: | (Forfarshire), [Scotland] [Lower] Old Red Sandstone, [Lochkovian-Emsian], [Devonian (Lower)] *Parka decipiens* (Fleming) - a flat thallus-like plant covered by a surface layer of roundish hexagonal cells (?arthropod?). This thallus-like body was probably borne on an upright stipe. Spores without tri-radiate ridges were produced in the cavities within the thallus. Apparently this specimen was on display in the Stratigraphic case, but no sign of it now. There has been a good deal of confusion about this specimen, as it was one of two that were given the old number FP9 by the GUGD - the one that went in the Main and FP Catalogues was the Anketell/Erben/Ingham/Rolfe 1964 from Newlands *Mastopora fava* (Salter) specimen - but as it has proper Hunterian Museum numbers on it (A725-726, S15170), it has been decided to record the Begg specimen (which is the only one with Pb3609 stuck on to it anyway) as Pb3609. It is anticipated that the Ingham slab will be renumbered when it is entered anyway. The appropriate old labels have been placed in this Object History File. The 'reference' on one old label is merely to justify why it has been called *Parka decipiens*, and does not in anyway refer to these specimens. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PLANTALGAGREEN : ARTHCRUSTMISC : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
