Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Plant remains can preserve a critical part of history of life on Earth. While telling the fascinating evolutionary story of plants and vegetation across the last 500 million years, this book also crucially offers non-specialists a practical guide to studying, dealing with and interpreting plant fossils. It shows how various techniques can be used to reveal the secrets of plant fossils and how to identify common types, such as compressions and impressions. Incorporating the concepts of evolutionary floras, this second edition includes revised data on all main plant groups, the latest approaches to naming plant fossils using fossil-taxa and techniques such as tomography. With extensive illustrations of plant fossils and living plants, the book encourages readers to think of fossils as once-living organisms. It is written for students on introductory or intermediate courses in palaeobotany, palaeontology, plant evolutionary biology and plant science, and for amateurs interested in studying plant fossils. A practical and extensively illustrated guide to studying plant fossils for the non-specialist. Newly revised, it describes how modern research techniques can reveal hidden details of the original plants, and how vegetation has evolved over 500 million years. For students and non-specialists in palaeobotany, palaeontology and plant evolution. This item is printed on demand.
