Taxonomic list

• "We have not been able to trace Rogers' material, nor have we revisited his locality. He notes 'imperfect remains of plants' and identifies, but does not illustrate, the recognisable elements. Our identifications represent a tentative interpretation of his list." (Anderson and Anderson 1985 (ref. 6188))
