Just a question:[edit]

On the following sentence:

"At the time of description in 1906, the holotype for P. florissantia was the largest single hymenopteran specimen that Carpenter had seen from the Florissant Formation.[3]"

Is that referring to Cockerell? I've read and re-read it, read the #3 reference, but I cannot find mention of a Carpenter. I'm worried I'm going crazy...

If I am, please disregard.

Corrected to Cocerell, (Ref page 54 of Cockerell 1906)--Kev min § 02:57, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
