Sorry. Those states all look alike from down here!

I collected the specimen from one of the three quarries. I just discovered
it (or I should say rediscovered it), when I was looking for another
specimen in the museum. I had not noticed the laminae when I collected the
rock, although that was the reason we were there. A colleague is currently
working on the site, and my interest is only cursory.
