Over 670 color photos reveal the Paleozoic plants that covered the
earth from 500 to 260 million years ago, well before the dinosaurs
roamed the world. These plants provide some of the earliest records
to the greening of planet earth. They also make fascinating, very
attractive fossils, which can be considered as "nature's artwork."
The fossil record provides a window into the first "forests" of the
Devonian Period, followed by the peculiar plants of the Lower
Carboniferous. These plants, in turn, were followed by those of the
Upper Carboniferous, abundant vegetation that is responsible for
almost half of the planet's coal seams. Coal swamp vegetation is
followed by the more sparse Permian floras, which preceded what was
the earth's most profound extinction event. Marine plants also make
their appearance in the world during this period, as do various
puzzling fossil tracks and burrows previously thought to be marine
plant fossils. This book is for all who are curious about the
ancient earth.
