Remarkable fossils, and Jim gives a very informative (and witty) overview of early land plant evolution. Kind of incredible to me that so many of the plants represented in these fossils have have descendants whose morphology so closely resembles those found in plants from long ago. The talk marches through the major events in land plant evolution, with beautiful fossil examples. The concept of "seed ferns" is really interesting.
Great presentation! Beautiful pictures & extensive explanations of pictures & fossils. I enjoyed this a lot and learned much! Thank you.
Great video!
