This book shows that landscape from 250 million years ago-and explains accessibly how we can create images of lost plants from studies of fossils, current flora, and models. Incorporating stories from their fieldwork and studio, two scientists and an artist offer the opportunity to see how paleobotanists work and to learn the science required to travel back to the Triassic. The book also offers a warning about the future; the Greenland depicted here was made possible by a large concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere. Though beautiful, this is not a habitat that most humans would survive." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Paleobotany $z Greenland. 650 0 $a Paleobotany $y Triassic. 650 0 $a Paleobotany $y Jurassic. 650 0 $a Paleoecology $z Greenland. 650 0 $a Paleoecology $y Triassic. 650 0 $a Paleoecology $y Jurassic. 700 1 $a Donnelly, Marlene Hill, $e illustrator. $9 143352 700 1 $a Glasspool, Ian J., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230207010244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=938B195C300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
