DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Paleobotany is the scientific study of ancient plants, using plant fossils found in sedimentary rocks. These fossils can be impressions or compressions of the plants left on the rock’s surface, or “petrified” objects, such as wood, which preserve the original plant material in rocklike form.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paleobotany is the study of fossil plants. A fossil plant is the remains or traces of a once living plant (Allaby, 2006). Fossil plants are generally found buried below ground. Paleobotanical information is used to unravel the evolutionary history of plant taxa, in both time and space.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Paleobotany? Paleobotany is a field of paleontology that studies plants throughout geologic history, and is primarily concerned with the fossil record and evolutionary history of plants.
