paleobotany
The study of fossil plants of the geologic past. A paleobotanist is a plant historian who carefully pieces together the geologic history of the plant kingdom. Other organisms, including fungi and various types of microscopic plankton, are also studied by paleobotanists. Paleobotany is a branch of paleontology that requires a knowledge of both plant biology (botany) and the geological sciences.
