The specimen was later given to its current owner, the American Museum of Natural History, for exhibition.

Most subsequent specimens have been given their own species at one point or another.

"The specimen was given in front of me," Struhl said.

The form and the specimens are given a laboratory number.

The specimen, which consisted mostly of the mineral, was given to C. H. Warren in 1897.

Its feeding habits must have been versatile, since captive specimens were probably given a wide range of food on the long sea journeys.

These specimens were given to French zoologist Maurice Caullery, who studied them for nearly 50 years.

"We may know more in a few years," said Dr. Melo, noting that many specimens had been given markers.

Her records show that many specimens had been given to her by her children.

Thus the Australian specimens were given the name Schenkia australis.
