Over 23 Million Hits! Please consider supporting this site Paleobotany From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science Jump to: navigation search Paleobotany is the field of paleontology involved with the study of ancient plants. It is an important area of creation biology , as creationism and evolutionism have radically different descriptions of ancient plant life. Creationism holds that a wide variety of plant life was created by God fully intact with the capacity to reproduce and adapt to changing environments, approximately 6,000 years ago. Evolutionism holds that all plant life (and indeed all life on the planet) is related by common descent over millions of years, and that more complex plants developed more recently than simpler plants.

See Also Petrified Wood Main Article: Petrified wood One of the most abundant fossils in the world is undoubtedly petrified wood. In many parts of the world entire forests can be found lying about with little sign of decomposition. Rapid coal formation Main Article: Rapid coal formation The physical evidence of the coal beds strongly favors the theory that the plant accumulations had been washed into place. The coal seams are almost universally found in stratified deposits. The non-carbonaceous sediments intervening between the coal seams are always said to have been water-borne and deposited. The great thickness of some seams and the great numbers of seams in a given locality also constitute prima facie evidence of rapid and cyclic currents carrying and depositing heavy burdens of organic material.

History of the Paleobotanical Section of BSA "The Paleobotanical Section of Botanical Society of America is the oldest organization of Paleobotanists in the world. The founding father of the Section in the years of 1934-1936 was Loren C. Perry, then of Cornell University. Paleobotanical contributions at the Botanical Society of America's meetings had customarily been presented before the General Section. Professor Perry initiated discussions of forming a formal organization of the Paleobotany Section. The idea was enhanced by the visit to the U.S.A. of Dr. H. Hamshaw Thomas during the Pittsburgh meeting of the Botanical Society. The Botanical Society Council minutes for the 30th Annual Meeting, at Washington University, St. Louis, December 31, 1935 - January 2, 1936, include an item: 'The Secretary reported a movement on the part of several of the younger members interested in paleobotany to ask for the formation of a paleobotanical section. The Council informally expressed its hearty approval of such action.' The minutes for the corresponding meeting at Atlantic City, December 29-31, 1936, include an item:'The Secretary reported plans for the organization of a Paleobotanical Section of the Society. The Council voted its approval of the proposal to organize such a Section.'

Corresponding Members You are here: Careers / Paleobotany Paleobotanists focus their studies on the biology of fossil plants. Every subdiscipline of plant science from anatomy and developmental studies to molecular biology and systematics provide insights invaluable for interpreting the fossil record of plants. It is not surprising that plant taxonomy and paleobotany have always been closely allied fields. Just as a plant taxonomist describes names and classifies living plants, the paleobotanist applies the same methodology to fossils. Today plant taxonomy and paleobotany are more strongly allied than ever. You have already read about the use of phylogenetic methods to estimate the evolutionary history of groups of living plants. All those living plants had extinct ancestors and understanding the fossil record of a group of plants can provide the plant taxonomist with clues of when and where modern groups originated and how they obtained their present distribution. Today plant taxonomists work closely with paleobotanists and use data from the fossil record along with phylogenetic methods to estimate when major lineages of modern plants appeared. In the past, a plant taxonomist studying a family of flowering plants would examine only material from herbaria. Now it is common place to either look at fossil material from the group or work in conjunction with a paleobotanist.

In 1866 J.S. Newberry became Chair of Geology and Paleobotany at Columbia College, and it was during his term that the Columbia Geology Museum was established. Newberry had an extraordinary career. Before accepting the position at Columbia, he served as physician and naturalist on several expeditions between 1885 and 1859 led by the U.S. Army Topographical Engineers. These early expeditions gave Newberry the opportunity to gather significant fossil plant collections from Oregon, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico. Newberry also obtained valuable Mesozoic and Tertiary fossil plants from the Washington Territories, the Yellowstone River and Bridge Creek, Oregon, that had been collected by American pioneer geologists and paleontologists F.V. Hayden, Reverend Thomas Condon and Colonel George Gibbs. J. D. Dana

Book Review: Paleobotany Paleobotany: Plants of the Past, Their Evolution, Paleoenvironment and Application in Exploration of Fossil Fuels. Shripad N. Agashe. 1995. ISBN 1-996106-08-8 (cloth US$55.00) 359+x pp. Science Publishers, Inc., 52 LaBombard Road North, Lebanon NH 03766 USA - Fossil plants have been collected and studied in India for the last 150 years. For the last 50 years, Sahni Institute played a significant role in advancing paleobotanical studies in India. However, no one attempted to write a textbook on paleobotany to meet the needs of Indian undergraduate and graduate students who depend on foreign textbooks with only passing references to Indian research. This book is Agashe's attempt to fill this void. The book consists of 25 chapters. The initial five chapters introduce paleobotanical history, principles of geologic age, types of plant fossils, and the techniques employed to study them. Chapter 6 deals with Precambrian paleobotany and chapter 7 with the classification of fossil plants. Major groups of fossil plants are individually treated in chapters 8-19 and 22. Gondwana and Tertiary floras of India are reviewed briefly in chapters 20 and 21. Applied paleobotany is discussed in the final three chapters (23-25). Paleontologists throughout the world have a great interest in the origin of angiosperms and in fossil angiosperm records. A huge amount of literature on new discoveries has been published in the last two decades, for example, Triassic angiospermid pollen from Arizona

P ALAEOBOTANICAL R ESEARCH G ROUP U NIVERSITY M H ISTORY OF P ALAEOZOIC F ORESTS T HE E ARLIEST L AND P LANTS The earliest vascular land plants appeared about 425 million years ago in the late Early Silurian. This form, Cooksonia , consisted of small naked, dichotomously bifurcting axes bearing terminal sporangia. These plants were only a few centimeters high. Baragwanathia is a much more robust plant consisting of up to 30 cm long axes with spirally arranged leaves and it has been described from the Upper Silurian of Australia; unfortunately, the quality of the compressions is rather poor and no organic material is preserved. Pertica from the late Early Devionan may already have attained a height of ca. 3 metres. The Zosterophyllophytes are considered to be the ancestral group that gave rise to the Lycopods, whereas all other groups of land plants are regarded to have been evolved from the Trimerophytes. The exquisit preservation of the Rhynie chert material enabled the recognition of the gametophyte stages of some of the earliest land plants. Gametophytes have also been recognized in compression preservation.

Demise Of The Dinosaurs T Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona contains hundreds of acres of perfectly preserved logs from an ancient tropical flood plain during the late Triassic Period (over 200 million years ago). The trees of this extinct forest coexisted with dinosaurs. Many of the petrified logs have been assigned to the genus Araucarioxylon , a presumed distant relative of Araucaria ; however, new evidence indicates that these petrified logs represent a broad diversity of conifer species. Streams carried dead logs into this once swampy lowland region where they were buried in sediments rich in volcanic ash. The woody tissue of the logs became impregnated with minerals such as silica and gradually turned into stone. Diorama of araucariad forest from 200 million years ago, when all the continents were united into the vast supercontinent Pangea. Whether any logs at Petrified Forest National Park came from trees such as these is unknown at this time. From all the thousands of petrified logs, one can only imagine the extent and diversity of this ancient forest of giant trees.
