| - Paleobotany is a branch of paleontology that deals with extinct plant life. The information that paleobotanists collect is valuable in painting a complete picture of prehistoric ecosystems. In the Jurassic Park series, Ellie Sattler was an accomplished paleobontanist.
- Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany, and also known as paleophytology, (from the Greek words paleon = old and "botany", study of plants) is the branch of paleontology or paleobiology dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments, and the evolution of both the plant kingdom and life in general. Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs, such as photosynthetic algae, seaweeds, or kelp. A closely-related field is palynology, which is the study of fossilized and extant spores and pollen.

A closely related field is palynology, the study of fossil and extant spores and pollen. Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of marine autotrophs, such as algae. Paleobotany is important in the reconstruction of prehistoric ecological systems and climate, known as paleoecology and paleoclimatology respectively, and is fundamental to the study of plant development and evolution. Paleobotany has also become important to the field of archaeology, primarily for the use of phytoliths in relative dating and in paleoethnobotany,
