Event RemarksECS notes: Corpus Christi Pass was formerly much larger, and once split Padre Island from Mustang Island. It was silted closed at an undisclosed point in the middle of the 20th century. The recently (2005) re-dug Packery Channel was the former SE edge of Corpus Christi Pass, and extended NW up to what is currently referred to as Corpus Christi Pass. Based on this collection date, it is unclear how much of the original Corpus Christi Pass was still exposed, and what part of the historic pass the specimens were taken from.

Georeferencing Annotation
—
Has not been Georeferenced because
This record, being part of the track 3 import, is not formally georeferenced by FoTX staff at this time. However, to allow mapping and visualization of this record, locality information has been provisionally accepted if provided by the donor or if location text could be matched to previously georeferenced records by FoTX team or donor data. For many records spatial error is either accepted from the donor (when provided) or derived based on coordinate precision.
