Abstract
We present the results of Axel Seeliger's tabulation of symmetric union presentations for ribbon knots with crossing numbers 11 and 12 and exhibit possible examples for ribbon knots which are not representable as symmetric unions. In addition, we give a complete atlas of band diagrams for prime ribbon knots with 11 and 12 crossings.

Version 2, to appear in Experimental Mathematics. Changes with respect to Version 1: fix of three typos in the Appendix (a minus sign was missing for 11a316 and the parameters for 12a473 and 12a887 needed to be interchanged), includes Piccirillo's result, enhancement of Paragraph 2.2, some further improvements (style and notation)
