Download or read book Paleobotany written by Edith L. Taylor and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 1253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae. It begins with a discussion of geologic time, how organisms are preserved in the rock record, and how organisms are studied and interpreted and takes the student through all the relevant uses and interpretations of fossil plants. With new chapters on additional flowering plant families, paleoecology and the structure of ancient plant communities, fossil plants as proxy records for paleoclimate, new methodologies used in phylogenetic reconstruction and the addition of new fossil plant discoveries since 1993, this book provides the most comprehensive account of the geologic history and evolution of microbes, algae, fungi, and plants through time. Major revision of a 1993 classic reference Lavishly illustrated with 1,800 images and user friendly for use by paleobotanists, biologists, geologists and other related scientists Includes an expanded glossary with an extensive up-to-date bibliography and a comprehensive index Provides extensive coverage of fungi and other microbes, and major groups of land plants both living and extinct

Book excerpt: Fungi are ubiquitous in the world and responsible for driving the evolution and governing the sustainability of ecosystems now and in the past. Fossil Fungi is the first encyclopedic book devoted exclusively to fossil fungi and their activities through geologic time. The book begins with the historical context of research on fossil fungi (paleomycology), followed by how fungi are formed and studied as fossils, and their age. The next six chapters focus on the major lineages of fungi, arranging them in phylogenetic order and placing the fossils within a systematic framework. For each fossil the age and provenance are provided. Each chapter provides a detailed introduction to the living members of the group and a discussion of the fossils that are believed to belong in this group. The extensive bibliography (~ 2700 entries) includes papers on both extant and fossil fungi. Additional chapters include lichens, fungal spores, and the interactions of fungi with plants, animals, and the geosphere. The final chapter includes a discussion of fossil bacteria and other organisms that are fungal-like in appearance, and known from the fossil record. The book includes more than 475 illustrations, almost all in color, of fossil fungi, line drawings, and portraits of people, as well as a glossary of more than 700 mycological and paleontological terms that will be useful to both biologists and geoscientists. First book devoted to the whole spectrum of the fossil record of fungi, ranging from Proterozoic fossils to the role of fungi in rock weathering Detailed discussion of how fossil fungi are preserved and studied Extensive bibliography with more than 2000 entries Where possible, fungal fossils are placed in a modern systematic context Each chapter within the systematic treatment of fungal lineages introduced with an easy-to-understand presentation of the main characters that define extant members Extensive glossary of more than 700 entries that define both biological, geological, and mycological terminology
Download or read book Fossil Plants written by Paul Kenrick and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This guide to fossil plants explains the lives of these ancient plants, how they came to be fossilized, and what they may tell us about the past. Kenrick and Davis trace the evolution of land plants, ferns, and conifers and their relatives, the flowering plants. Weaving together strands from the past and present, the snapshots of ancient and modern environments are illustrated with images of fossils and their "living relatives." With photographs of the delicate pieces of shale that hold the fossils, the authors explore the hidden past of plants and uncover the breadth of form and rare beauty of plants turned to stone."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Studies Fossil Botany written by Dukinfield Henry Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies Fossil Botany The exceptionally rapid progress of Fossil Botany during the last eight years has rendered necessary a very thorough revision of this book, and the rewriting of considerable portions. At the same time care has been taken to maintain the original character of the "Studies" as a first introduction to "those results of palæontological inquiry which appear to be of fundamental importance from the botanist's point of view." No attempt has been made to extend the scope of the book, which now, as before, is concerned essentially with the morphological and evolutionary aspects of Palæobotany, but in every chapter new results of research have been incorporated. Chapters I.-IX. cover the Pteridophyta, i.e. those groups of Vascular Plants which may still be considered as, on the whole, Cryptogamic. Chapters X.-XIV. contain the Spermophyta, so far as they are dealt with, concluding with the chapter on "General Results."

Download or read book Fossils Evolution and My Faith written by D.E.P. Jeyasingh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution is an important concept in Biology. Textbooks on this subject list a number of evidences for organic evolution. One such evidence is what comes from the study of Fossils. In Part I of the book, in chapters 1 to 3, a definition for fossils is put forth and the methods of their study are briefly outlined, thereby introducing the reader to Paleontology, the science of fossil study, Chapters 4 to 7 in Part II of the book, give an exposition of the Thoughts, Observations, Concepts and Theories pertaining to Organic Evolution, the subject matter of Part II in general. These initial chapters are intended to lead the reader to a better understanding of the Fossil Evidences for Evolution among the various groups of organisms, including man, dealt with in the remaining chatters of this part, beginning with the Protists in chapter 8. Volume One terminates at this point, leaving the remaining 11 chapters of Part II to be covered in Volume Two that would also contain Part III on my Faith.
