Paleobotanists use these fossils to help build a picture of prehistoric environments, the feeding resources of extinct animals and the evolutionary pasts of modern plants.

The study of plants in the fossil record, in order to understand both the evolution of plant life and the ecology of ancient eras, is known as paleobotany. Lawrence, KS - infoZine- "At that time there were forests growing in Antarctica," said Taylor, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and senior curator of paleobotany at the University of Kansas. Roberts Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas, where he also is curator of paleobotany at the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. Botany is the area of biology concerned with the scientific study of all forms of plant life. Botany thus covers a huge range of plant species, from agricultural crops to delicate flowers to microscopic algae, Paleobotany involves the scientific recovery and study of plant fossil remains.
