Subject: missing specimens
Dear VP List
I volunteered to post the following for Kathi Stait who is anxious to
retrieve specimens described by Cosgriff. If anyone can help please reply
to her on <[log in to unmask]>
Message from Kathi
I am curator of the geology collection at the University of Tasmania. This
is the designated repository for most specimens collected by John Cosgriff
from Triassic sequences in southern Tasmania, and described in his 1974
paper, and in his paper with Sherri DeFauw (1987).
Specimens are within a flat-pebble conglomerate, or isolate, and have a
5-digit catalogue number written on them in black drafting ink. These
catalogue numbers correspond with those in Cosgriff's or Cosgriff & DeFauw's
paper.
Some of these very important types are missing, and have not been sighted
here since Cosgriff died. There have been many visitors to our collection,
who specifically needed to compare these types with their own material.
Since it is Tasmanian material, and since the University of Tasmania Geology
Department rock store is the designated repository, it is of prime
importance that we locate these specimens before they are irrevocably lost.
