Fossil Plants (Living Past (Hardcover)) (Hardcover)

by Paul Kenrick, Paul Davis, Natural History Museum (London England)

Long before there were animals on the earth, many kinds of plants covered the prehistoric planet.

The soft remains rarely fossilized, but sometimes leaves, flowers, and branches would fall into soft

mud or be encased by the ash of exploding volcanoes. These plants were preserved and now offer

a sampling of life in the distant past and a contrast to our present flora. This complete guide to fossil

plants explains both the lives of ancient plants and why certain plants became fossilized. Kenrick and

Davis trace the evolution of land plants, ferns, conifers, and their relatives, the flowering plants. Interwoven are snapshots of

landscapes and environments of various periods, focusing on plant and animal interactions. The included photographs present

these ancient, sometimes delicate pieces of shale, and Kenrick and Davis explain the story that fossil plants can tell us about

the past. 16 pages of color photographs, 100 b/w photographs.
