Plant Macrofossils

Pine cone and needles image Fern image Bog image

Plant macrofossils are preserved remains large enough to be visible without a microscope. They include leaf, needle, cone, and stem debris, and can be used to identify types of plants formerly growing in the area. Plant macrofossil data provide a valuable complement to pollen and faunal data that can be used to reconstruct the terrestrial environment.
