Acorn — Cap & Stem Study (Specimen No. 003) steampunk while beads of red andCollected as a stem fragment bearing one or more caps. Caps remain intact. One complete seed form present.

Interior surfaces plate last and with difficulty. Cause unclear. Deposition gathers across the outer patterning, emphasising the existing structure. Edges remain clearly
