“Palynology deals with plant spores and pollen that are both ancient and modern and is a branch of paleobotany.”

“Every paleobotanist working in the Cretaceous or Tertiary will want to have copies of these monographs available for reference.”

“Laura Dern, 48, played paleobotanist Dr Ellie Sattler, who escaped the island alive.”
