The first mention of this type was found in the Smithsonia publication by Fredrick Webb Hodges in 1911. However, he references Rau in 1876, Thurston in 1897, and Moorehead in 1900 and states that they have detailed information on this type. Modern professional references to this type are limited which may be due to the rarity of this type. Collector sources have the greatest references to this type.
