analyses coupled with a careful evaluation of the fossil record indicate that despite
resembling forms from the Triassic, extant Isoetes species do not represent the remnants of
an ancient and widespread group, but instead have spread around the globe in the relatively
recent past. ..."

The
Digital Encyclopedia of Ancient Life (DEAL),
part of the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project by
the Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, New York:
This is an online, open-access textbook, currently under development.
The goal of DEAL is to produce a comprehensive paleontological textbook with
coverage of all major groups of organisms, including plants.
!
Note the chapter
on Embryophytes, by E.J. Hermsen.
The pages covering general botanical subjects such as
vascular plant structure, leaf structure and evolution, and plant life cycles.
The
Digital Atlas of Ancient Life (DAoAL),
managed by the Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, New York.
The goal of the Digital Atlas of Ancient Life project is to provide a free resource
to help individuals identify and better understand fossil species from particular
regions and time intervals.
Note the
resources for teachers:
Classroom lesson plans, activities, and associated materials that relate to either
the Neogene or Ordovician Atlas. All of these resources may be freely accessed
and downloaded.

Frontiers in Genetics, 11.
"... molecular dating will undoubtedly keep playing
a crucial role in biology in the future. Our understanding of
important phenomena such as species diversification or dispersal,
population migration and demography, or the molecular
signature resulting from environmental changes, depends on our
ability to date past evolutionary events. The wealth of available
techniques to perform this task provides a powerful set of tools
to make progress in this direction. ..."

"... Sharp increases in the abundances of pyrolytic PAHs normalized to total organic carbon were found
during the Rhaetian Stage (R1 and R2) and at the Tr-J boundary. The ratios of
pyrolytic PAHs (PPAHs) to
methylated homologues document the combustion origin of PPAHs from methylated PAHs during these
intervals
of increased wildfire frequency. ..."
