Specimens had one leg sub-sampled, and molecular methods followed standard manual DNA barcoding protocols [ 57].
All the specimens had one or more NEOs in AS and PS zones.
The Ridley specimen has only one 'good' flower in the packet showing clearly two main lobes, each with a short median tear (which can be expected to give at least four lobes perceptible at a later stage).
The specimen has only one side of the wings preserved (Fig. 10a, b), while the fore- and hind wings are overlapping.
From the analysis of current transients, it was realized that the oxide film grown on the specimen has only one-layer structure below 60 °C, but it is composed of two layers with different structures, i.e. an inner layer and an outer layer, above 100 °C.
Of those 13 cases in which there was a positive BCS specimen margin, eight had one positive BCS specimen margin, three had two positive BCS specimen margins, and two had three positive BCS specimen margins, thus representing 20 total positive BCS specimen margins among a total of 1224 BCS specimen margin locations evaluated for the 204 BCS cases.
Of those 22 cases in which there was a positive or close BCS specimen margin, 17 had one positive/close BCS specimen margin, three had two positive/close BCS specimen margins, and two had three positive/close BCS specimen margins, thus representing 29 total positive/close BCS specimen margins among a total of 1224 BCS specimen margin locations evaluated for the 204 BCS cases.
Since arriving at the Museum in April of 2011, the specimen has been worked on by one person – Mr. Mark Mitchell.
Each specimen had only one H-HPV type: three were type 52 and one each contained types 18, 33, 45 or 51.
This is because the NP1F0 specimen had only one diagonal crack, and consequently all local deformations concentrated on this critical crack, while multiple diagonal or flexural cracks occurred in the other specimens with steel fibers.
