Hi to all,
Currently I am trying to obtain as much information as possible on the lorica plumata (meaning the hybrid form of lorica where mail and scale are mixed, not the lorica squamata with a medial ridge that is sometimes called the same).
Up to present I could trace 5 specimens:
1) Augsburg, Germany (described by Robinson)
2) Ouddorp, Netherlands (described by Robinson; by Stuart; and by Sim)
3) Newstead, UK (described by Curle; by Robinson; and by Erik Schmidt)
4) Usk, Wales (described by Price; and by Manning)
5) A piece of unknown origin (described on this forum)
- Are there any other lorica plumata remains that anyone is aware of?
- Where are they located?
- Is there any relevant literature besides that already mentioned below?
- Are there any (digital) photos besides those posted on this forum or in the list below?
Any help or information will be welcome.
With kind regards,
Martijn
