N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

How about Ramsdell as opposed to Harwell ?

Thank you, I'm surprised it wasn't in the gazetteer. (having read it as well I was probably blind to the alternatives)

I wonder if the location is Marnel Dell just North of Basingstoke. This looks like a quarried site on old maps, and there's another specimen of this species which locates it at Marndell though I think the label reads Marnedell.
