News on the vegetation around middle Eocene Lake Messel.
GeoDarmstadt 2010. Darmstadt
Konferenzveröffentlichung, Bibliographie
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
The middle Eocene sediments of the maar lake at Mes-sel became especially famous for a considerable num-ber of extremely well preserved vertebrate remains. But, the sediments also contain a wealth of well preserved plant fossils (microfossils as well as macrofossils) yield-ing a lot of basic information on ecosystems and cli-mate at the site. During the excavations, an estimate of over 30.000 individual specimens of leaves, fruits/seeds, flowers and other plant fragments have been collected from the exposed part of the Middle Messel Formation. They are evidence for the early mid-dle Eocene inland vegetation thriving under a seasonal, but generally warm and humid (“paratropical s.l.”) climate, now supported by quantitative data. Ongoing studies of the material led to a refined view of system-atic and palaeobiogeographic relationships. Additional information, especially on short-term quantitative fluc-tuations of the regular vegetation and on the pioneering stages after the eruption, is derived from high-resolution palynological studies of the research core Messel 2001. Currently, there is an international team of people in-volved in palaeobotanical research at Messel; recent results will be summarized.
