Palaeozoic Palaeobotany of Great Britain (Hardcover, 1994 ed.)

This volume summarizes the results of a survey of British Palaeozoic palaeobotany sites, undertaken between 1978 and 1990 as part of the Geological Conservation Review. The Review was the first attempt to assess the scientific significance of all Britain's geological sites and has proved a landmark in the development of a coherent geological conservation strategy in this country. To ensure that the assessments were based on a firm logical and scientific foundation, the range of scientific interest was divided into 97 discrete blocks, reflecting the natural divisions of stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geological process; Palaeozoic palaeobotany was one of these blocks.
