Fossil plants, Vol. 2
Albert Charles Seward
The coal forests ran on plants with no living equals. Seward's second volume digs into the Sphenophyllales and their kin, from jointed Sphenophyllum to the cone Cheirostrobus, then turns to the puzzling Psilotales. Meticulous descriptions reconstruct whole plants from scattered fossils. Essential continuation for readers following the ancient flora that built the world's coal. The story of vanished forests deepens here.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
