I'm open to changing the wording here. I struggled with how to phrase a "part modifier" of "part"...
I think most collections have handled this in part remark, so some cleanup should happen if we do this.

I support this, we have over a thousand specimens with part/counterpart currently in remarks.
suggest instead
part to counterpart
(opposite would be counterpart to part)
@WaigePilson will this work for you?
@Jegelewicz I've updated the definitions here per our discussion in the Code Table meeting yesterday! I think this is ready to implement.

added
Goal
Add the term "part, of part-counterpart" to the part modifier tableAdd the term "part to counterpart" to the part modifier table
Context
Fossil plants often preserve as compression/impression fossils where there are two sides of a split rock each with the fossil preserved: we term this a "part and counterpart". Recording whether my two parts of a specimen record are part and counterpart is very important.
I suggest that we add two modifiers
"part, of part-counterpart" and "counterpart, of part-counterpart""counterpart to part" and "part to counterpart" for users to be able to mark the two parts associated with that specimen as the part and counterpart.Table

Proposed Value
part of part-counterpartpart to counterpart
Proposed Definition
Matching halves of a fossil; two halves of a compression fossil (often with carbon adhering to the part and the impression preserved on the counterpart).One half of a compression fossil. Typically the part is the positive side with carbon adhering, outlining the fine details of the fossil. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fossil.
Priority
High, most specimens in my collection have this attribute
