   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Paleobotany , also spelled as palaeobotany (from the Greek words paleon = old and " botany ", study of plants), is the branch of paleontology or paleobiology dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments , and the evolution of both the plant kingdom and life in general. A synonym is paleo phytology . Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils , as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs , such as photosynthetic algae seaweeds or kelp . A closely-related field is palynology , which is the study of fossilized and extant spores and pollen Paleobotany is important in the reconstruction of ancient ecological systems and climate , known as paleoecology and paleoclimatology respectively; and is fundamental to the study of green plant development and evolution . Paleobotany has also become important to the field of archaeology , primarily for the use of phytoliths in relative dating and in paleoethnobotany Macroscopic remains of true vascular plants are first found in the fossil record during the Silurian Period of the Paleozoic era.. Some dispersed, fragmentary fossils of disputed affinity, primarily

4. Yale Peabody Museum: The Collections: Paleobotany
   A worldwide paleobotanical collection dating from the early 19th century.  
   http://www.yale.edu/peabody/collections/pb/
   
   Extractions: Over the past 20 years the collection has seen unparalleled growth. Part of this expansion is the result of field collecting, but the largest increase is from the addition of 2 orphaned collections: The New York Botanical Garden Collection and a substantial part of the Princeton University paleobotanical collections. These holdings include material that formed the basis of the research of many of the founders of American paleobotany, including J.S. Newberry, Leo Lesquereux, E.W. Berry, W.M. Fontaine, Lester Ward and Arthur Hollick.

5. What Is A Paleobotanist?
   paleobotany is the study of fossil plants found buried in sediments and rocks, and is one of many fields of study within the broad science of botany.  
   http://www.snomnh.ou.edu/collections-research/cr-sub/invertpaleo/common_fossils_
   
   Extractions: Plants, unlike most animals for example, naturally break apart into pieces while they are alive. For example, pollen is released in the Spring (causing one's allergies to act up) and leaves fall in the Autumn. In fact, it is quite normal to find a leaf here, a branch there and a seed somewhere else. When a plant dies, the plant breaks apart into still more pieces. When looking for fossil plants, a leaf is found here and a branch is found over there. It is relatively rare to find a leaf attached to a branch to show that they belong to the same plant. As a result paleobotanists usually give a different name to each part of a plant until they can show that they were part of the same plant (that is, they find the leaf attached to a branch). This method of naming fossil plants is why there are different names for different parts of a single plant.

   Extractions: Also, see the fossil. The FLMNH Paleobotanical Collection includes approximately 300,000 specimens. This is a conservative estimate that does not take into account the fact that an individual hand sample may contain more than one fossil of interest. In addition, the facility houses the John W. Hall paleobotanical collection (approximately 20,000 specimens) currently on a long-term loan from the University of Minnesota. The type collection includes all FLMNH paleobotanical specimens that have been cited in published literature, extending from the 1920's to the present. Approximately 183 publications are known to have cited specimens that now reside in the FLMNH paleobotanical collection (a list of these publications is available). There are currently more than 4000 specimens and 1200 thin section slides and SEM stubs (type, figured and cited) housed in ten cabinets. Organization is by year of publication and in the order of citation presented in the publications.

   Extractions: Nederlandse versie Hans' Paleobotany Pages Taxodium at Ellecom (NL): a living fossil. This website is dedicated to fossil plants . The first indications for the existence of land plants date from 470 million years ago, from the Ordovician. The oldest fossils of land plants visible with the naked eye are about 425 million years old, from the Middle Silurian. From this time on the plants spread over the land and the continents turned to green. This was the beginning of an amazing development, which created the terms for animal life on land.

   Extractions: Paleobotany continues to produce a wealth of anatomical, morphological, and systematic studies as well as floristic descriptions, all of which have always been at the heart of the discipline. Significant this year is the publication of Fossil Flora and Stratigraphy of the Florissant Formation, Colorado (Evanoff and others, 2001, Denver Museum of Nature and Science). This volume updates varied aspects of this important Tertiary site, including megafossils, pollen, and wood (papers by E. Leopold and S. Clay-Poole, F. Wingate and D. Nichols, S. Manchester, E. Wheeler) as well as stratigraphy, paleoclimate, and paleoelevation interpretations (E. Evanoff and others, K. Gregory-Wodzicki, H. Meyer). In 2001, paleobotany continued to expand its traditional boundaries to include studies integrating data from fossil plants in order to understand extinction events, past communities, and paleoclimate. Ancient carbon cycles and carbon-dioxide levels Fossil plant data are proving to be invaluable for estimating past carbon-dioxide levels and providing insights on the functioning of ancient carbon cycles. Paleontological data for the diversity of marine animals and land plants was integrated elegantly with a concurrent measure of stable carbon-isotope fractionation for the last 400 million years (D.H. Rothman

    Extractions: Paleobotanical Methods Fossil plants have long been used to infer paleoclimate and, by extension, paleoelevation. The most basic premise of paleobotanical theory is that plants that grow in warm climates look different from plants that grow in cold climates, and therefore if one or the other can be recognized in the fossil record we have a constraint on the climate in which the plants lived. In practice, paleobotany is fraught with more assumptions and inferences than most methods in the earth sciences, and the uncertainties associated with traditional paleobotanical analyses are huge. In many cases, though, paleobotany is the only method available for determining elevation history of a region. Paleobotanical methods can be quite complex. Half of the analysis requires some identification or classification of the fossil flora; there are two main ways of doing this: 1) identification of the flora in terms of modern plants, or "nearest living relatives," and 2) characterization of the flora based on physiognomic characteristics. The second half of the analysis involves relating the fossil flora to some climate parameter or group of parameters, and further using these parameters to infer elevation. The climatic half of the analysis may involve estimates of mean annual temperature and growing season length, or less direct atmospheric parameters such as terrestrial lapse rate and mean annual enthalpy. In the following discussion, floral classification schemes are described first, followed by the methods of climatic and atmospheric analysis.

    Extractions: A Brief Introduction to PALEOBOTANY Although most of the "green things" that populate our oceans and continents don't have the ability to move about and, hence, grab out attention, the world's biota couldn't exist without these organisms. The Plant Kingdom is the base of Earth's food chain and, as such, is the foundation for all life as we know it today, in the recent past, and in the deep past. That's not to say that today's biota is exactly like that of the past. Indeed, there have been dramatic changes in the base of the food chain since its first appearance. Documentation of these changes and understanding the reasons for these changes is only part of what Paleobotany - the study of fossil plants sensu latu (in the broad sense) - attempts to do. Those scientists who actively pursue study of these seemingly "uninteresting" organisms have devised several approaches to examine life's history that can be separated into two broad categories TRADITIONAL and INTEGRATIVE APPROACHES. Traditional approaches follow methodologies established during and immediately after the Renaissance, while Integrative approaches are based upon methodologies that could only be established following advances in technology of the 20 th Century. Advances in analytical techniques in the next several decades will, once again, change the way in which we approach this and other disciplines but, the traditional approaches will remain basic to all avenues of research. If you don't know how it was preserved, what it is, how it is constructed, and what is its life cycle, you can't take the organism(s) and use it with any amount of credibility for more synthetic approaches in our desire to develop local, regional, and global models of how Earth works.
