[Nhcoll-l] Desperately seeking GSC radiolarian type collection

[Coyne, Michelle (NRCan/RNCan)]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a lost collection labeled and published under Geological Survey of Canada type numbers but never surrendered after publication.  The Newfoundland radiolarian specimens were published from 2002-2015 by W.J. (Bill) Iams & Mun-Zu Won.  I am not able to find any current contact information for these research scientists.  Bill Iams retired from Memorial University in Newfoundland, Canada and took the specimens with him.  Mun-Zu Won was associated with Pusan National University in Korea.  They worked with Katherine Reed at the USGS and I'm wondering if the collection could have been sent south of the border?

If anyone has current contact information or knows with whom the collection currently resides, I would be grateful the lead.  You can contact me at:

Thank you,

Michelle Coyne
