Definitive taxonomic assignment of granules to S. jamesii is based on the possession of five diagnostic characteristics. Granules that possessed four (likely S. jamesii) or three (possibly S. jamesii) characteristics were also assigned. Characteristics of S. jamesii possessed by each granule are bolded. Damaged granules extracted from ground stone tools are not included.
