| WHAT
FOSSIL PLANT IS THAT ? - A
Guide to the Ancient Floras of Victoria.
S/C
(J. G. Douglas) 1983.
86pp. This book is
published by the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria, Australia
in which is incorporated the Microscopical Society of Victoria.
It is apparent in Victoria where the jungles of East Gippsland,
the eucalypt forest of the highlands, the basalt plains, the
dunes of the Big Desert, and the coastal heaths form well
defined plant communities. It is seldom realized that these are
the heirs of ancient floras, remnants of which are well
preserved in the sedimentary rock succession. The best known of
these are the geologically young brown coals of vital
importance, but in the older rocks there is an extensive fossil
record of even more primitive land and sea plants. This booklet
shows what these earlier plants looked like, and how the plant
communities developed. It gives key species through the ages and
provides supplementary information concerning extinctions,
palaeclimates, modes of preservation, and fossil localities.
