Lune River Fossil Fern Trunks Tasmania
Among Tasmania's earthly treasures are the spectacular but little known fossil ferns from Lune River.Complex geological forces combined to preserve the trunks of ferns and other plants growing in a Jurassic forest here 180 million years ago.Rockhounds in the 1950s and 60s began to uncover an unusual type of fossil. Cutting and polishing the specimens revealed complex botanical structures in astonishing colours.This book provides a background to fossicking in the Lune River area and the close cooperation between amateur fossicker and professional palaeobotanist. Twelve tree ferns and one bracken-type fern have been studied and named.Chapter 10 presents a guide for the amateur collector to identify these fossil ferns from "The Lune".
Catalogue of the Fossil Plants of the Glossopteris Flora in the Department of Geology, British Museum (Natural History)
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fossil Plants of the Glossopteris Flora in the Department of Geology, British Museum (Natural History): Being a Monograph of the Permo-Carbonniferous Flora of India and the Southern Hemisphere IN this Catalogue I have made an attempt towards a complete summary of what is at present known on the subject of the Glossopteris Flora. It is hoped that reference will here be found to all the more important memoirs which have been published; a literature now not only large, but widely scattered. I have endeavoured to give some account Of the less abundant, and consequently the less known species, in addition to the more characteristic types represented in the British Mu...

The Ferns (Filicales): Volume 1, Analytical Examination of the Criteria of Comparison
Frederick Orpen Bower (1855-1948) was a renowned botanist best known for his research on the origins and evolution of ferns. Appointed Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow in 1885, he became a leading figure in the development of modern botany and the emerging field of paleobotany, devising the interpolation theory of the life cycle in land plants. First published between 1923 and 1928 as part of the Cambridge Botanical Handbook series, The Ferns was the first systematic classification of ferns according to anatomical, morphological and developmental features. In this three-volume work Bower analyses the major areas of comparison between different species, describes primitive and fossil ferns and compares these species to present-day fern species, providing a comprehensive description of the order. Volume 1 describes and analyses the features of ferns which Bower uses in his system of classification.
