Notes

The Hedge record from Past Perfect shows an additional mark of 87; these specimen(s) do not have a mark. The sample has fractured over time so it may be possible that it got displaced from the main rock. This is the closest match to the description that we have found in the museum, so we are attributing it to the Hedge Collection even though there was no liquid paper number match.
