Collecting Event ID 7187
Collecting Event Notes This specimen, lacking precise date, was bought from Indiana University (IU) by California Academy of Science (CAS) in 1929 according to the CAS website(https://www.calacademy.org/scientists/ichthyology-about). It is therefore likely that the specimen was collected between the earliest IU records held by CAS occurring in the Fishes of Texas study area (TX and neighbor states) and 1929. The earliest IU record from the Fishes of Texas Project study area is 1884.
