Plants and the K-T Boundary. 2008. (Reprint 2011). 292 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.

In this 2008 text, two of the world's leading experts in palynology andpaleobotany provide a comprehensive account of the fate of land plantsduring the great extinction about 65 million years ago. They describe how the time boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene Periods(the K-T boundary) is recognised in the geological record, and howfossil plants can be used to understand global events of that time.There are case studies from over 100 localities around the world, including North America, China, Russia and New Zealand. The book concludes with an evaluation of possible causes of the K-T boundaryevent and its effects on floras of the past and present. This book iswritten for researchers and students in paleontology, botany, geologyand Earth history, and everyone who has been following the course ofthe extinction debate and the K-T boundary paradigm shift.
