Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the fossil plant life that inhabited New Jersey during the Cretaceous period. It is the first major study of this kind since the late 19th century and provides a critical reexamination and synthesis of the author's earlier work in the field. The study is based on extensive fieldwork and examination of museum specimens, and places the findings within the broader context of Cretaceous floras around the world. The author argues that the Raritan flora represents a humid, subtropical to warm-temperate climate, dominated by broad-leafed trees with minor components of ferns, conifers, and flowering plants. These findings provide valuable insights into the evolution and distribution of plant life during a critical period in Earth's history and deepen our understanding of the ancient ecosystems that shaped the planet.
