Plant Fossils from the McAbee Deposit, Central British Columbia, Canada - Page 3 of 3 To achieve our goals, we are working to separate out and describe key features of all of the various plant fossil types found at the locality. We can then attempt to identify and describe the plant taxa with the kind cooperation of several paleobotanists. We can also use this information to understand the diversity of the flora, to determine which plant types were dominant in the forest, to compare the McAbee flora to other fossil floras and to modern forests, and to use data from the fossil leaves to estimate the paleoclimate at the time that the fossil forest was growing. To go to pages that explain more about the McAbee forest and to see images of the different plant fossil types that have been found so far click here.
