Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany, is the branch of botany dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments (paleogeography), and the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in general.
Evidence of the presence of a plant community dominated by ferns belonging to the family Osmundaceae, similar to extant plant communities such as those from swamp settings from the Parana Forest in northeastern Argentina, is reported from the Jurassic La Matilde Formation (Argentina) by García Massini et al. (2025).
Plant remains recovered from ancient sediments within the landscape or at archaeological sites serve as the primary evidence for various research avenues within paleoethnobotany, such as the origins of plant domestication, the development of agriculture, paleoenvironmental reconstructions, subsistence strategies, paleodiets, economic structures ...
Fossilized pollen is indicative of a particular span of geologic time, so its presence can help determine the age of a fossil site, said Michael Donovan, paleobotany collections manager at Chicago ...
Evidence from the study of larvae preserved in the Cretaceous Kachin amber from Myanmar, interpreted as indicative of greater morphological diversity of nymphid larvae compared to the present, is presented by Buchner et al. (2025).
Because the distribution of acritarchs, chitinozoans, dinoflagellate cysts, pollen and spores provides evidence of stratigraphical correlation through biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, one common and lucrative application of palynology is in oil and gas exploration. Paleoecology and climate change.
When an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, new animals and plants competed to survive on a changing planet. Grapes were the unlikely winners 60 million years ago.
Evidence of the presence of distinct patterns of damage inflicted by insects on seeds from the Permian (Asselian) Shanxi Formation (China), as well evidence of presence of anti-herbivory defences in the studied seeds in the form of hairs, spines, thick seed coats and apical horns, is presented by Santos, Wappler & (2024).
