This volume of the GCR series, one of two dealing with palaeobotany, covers the first 200 million years of the history of land plant evolution, as represented by the palaeobotany GCR site network of Great Britain. It demonstrates how the main facets of land plant evolution can be demonstrated at sites in Britain, and how the fossil record can be of value as an evolutionary and environmental indicator of the geological past.
