The recent discovery of diverse fossil flowers and floral organs in
Cretaceous strata has revealed astonishing details about the
structural and systematic diversity of early angiosperms. Exploring
the rich fossil record that has accumulated over the last three
decades, this is a unique study of the evolutionary history of
flowering plants from their earliest phases in obscurity to their
dominance in modern vegetation. The discussion provides
comprehensive biological and geological background information,
before moving on to summarise the fossil record in detail.
Including previously unpublished results based on research into
Early and Late Cretaceous fossil floras from Europe and North
America, the authors draw on direct palaeontological evidence of
the pattern of angiosperm evolution through time. Synthesising
palaeobotanical data with information from living plants, this
unique book explores the latest research in the field, highlighting
connections with phylogenetic systematics, structure and the
biology of extant angiosperms.
