03D22413527EFFD5FC6978F92B3A5409.taxon	description	Text-fig. 5 a – f In this taxon the spore walls have an outer layer that appears to be homogeneous, although we recognize that, in this case, diagenetic fusion may be masking an underlying laminar construction. This interpretation is supported by areas where the surface appears to be delaminating (Text-fig. 5 c, d, e, f, arrows). The outer layer ranges in thickness from 150 to 700 nm (Text-fig. 5 b – f). Lining each of the lumens of the dyads is a single (or possibly two) lamina (e) 30 – 60 nm in thickness. The dark spots (bullae) that characterize this taxon are formed by darkly staining, likely organic deposits, that form in spaces where the inner laminae have folded up and / or collapsed toward the contact area (Text-fig. 5 b, c, e, f). Two specimens (Rog 2 ox 2 - 4, Rog 2 - 2 - 1) are figured here.	en	Taylor, Wilson A., Strother, Paul K.

03D22413527EFFD6FC7279052F0C5B98.taxon	description	Text-fig. 4 a – d The spore walls of this species consist solely of laminae. The specimen illustrated in Text-fig. 4 a – d (Rog 2 ox 3 - 1) has no more than four laminae that range from 60 – 320 nm thick, and line the entire spore lumen – i. e., they are continuous laminae. The fragile laminae often break and fold back on themselves. This causes the spores to appear mottled when viewed in the light microscope (Text-fig. 4 b).	en	Taylor, Wilson A., Strother, Paul K.

03D22413527DFFD5FC7279C2299C540B.taxon	description	Text-fig. 6 a – d The spore walls of this species consist solely of laminae. The specimen illustrated in Text-fig. 6 a – d (Rog 2 ox 3 - 3) has more than four laminae that range from 60 – 120 nm thick (Text-fig. 6 b, d), and line the entire spore lumen – i. e., they are continuous laminae. Paired dyads with aligned contact face planes characterize this taxon (Text-fig. 6 c). The outermost laminae of the paired dyads interdigitate (Textfig. 6 a, b). There is no fusion of the laminae of adjacent spore bodies.	en	Taylor, Wilson A., Strother, Paul K. (2024): Ultrastructure Of Cambrian Cryptospores And The Early Evolution Of The Plant Spore Wall.

03D224135273FFDAFE9978D52F125B78.taxon	description	Text-figs 8 a – d, 9 a, b Specimen R 10 is a clump of 40 or more packets, each approximately 30 µm in diameter (Text-fig. 8 a). When viewed in TEM cross-section (Text-fig. 8 b, c, d), the packets consist of multiple spore-bodies with highly compressed walls that are approximately 1.5 – 2.0 µm thick. The former lumen can be difficult to identify with certainty, but based on the symmetry of the surrounding laminar zones, an approximation can be made (marked with an arrow on Text-fig. 8 and Text-fig. 9). The outer half of the wall is densely constructed with hints of lamination throughout and some more lightly staining voids (Text-fig. 8 c, d). The inner half consists of multiple continuous laminae of variable construction. Few if any of the individual laminae are of consistent thickness along their length. There are several types of laminar construction present: Type 1 laminae are approximately 100 nm thick, smooth on the inside, but with an undulating surface on the outside (labeled “ 1 ” on Text-fig. 9 a, b). Type 2 laminae occur as thicker units (up to 200 nm) that undulate on both the inside and the outside surface (labeled “ 2 ” on Text-fig. 9 a, b). Type 3 laminae are found in zones of alternating thick and very thin laminae (labeled “ 3 ” on Text-fig. 9 a, b). Type 4 laminae consist mostly of beads connected by zones of very thin laminae (labeled “ 4 ” on Text-fig. 8 c, d). Other extraneous fragments of wall material (beads, laminae, etc.) also occur throughout the wall but are difficult to track to individual laminar zones. Some laminar zones also have a concentration of lightly staining circular to elliptical voids within (marked with an asterisk on Text-fig. 8 c, d and Text-fig. 9 a, b).	en	Taylor, Wilson A., Strother, Paul K.

03D224135272FFD9FBF878D92B3F5B53.taxon	description	Text-fig. 10 a – d Specimen R 2 A is a clump of several spore packets (Text-fig. 10 a) shown in cross-section in Text-fig. 10 b – d. The single wall cross-section of one of these packets (Text-fig. 10 d) shows a similar assortment of layer types as the specimen above.	en	Taylor, Wilson A., Strother, Paul K.
