  • Archival Survey Feature or Collection Forms (2012)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Barbara Stark

Each survey feature was recorded on a form and assigned a unique number, and, if the feature was collected, that number pertains to the surface collection. Some features have more than one collection, in which case additional feature/collection numbers were assigned. Rarely numbers were subsequently de-assigned, and might then be assigned to a different feature/collection later, but occasionally numbers were not used...

    DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Barbara Stark

    These pdf files show forms for fields where survey was conducted and the locations of features/collections within the field, along with vegetation and other observations.
