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 summarize 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 Including previously unpublished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. Synthesizing 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.
