Research projects

Palaeobotany and taphonomy from Lower Permian of South East Asia

Jambi 2004 - Crossing Merangin
Jambi 2004 -Crossing Merangin. 		 Jambi 2004 - Tree
Jambi 2004 - Tree 0497.

The change in floral complexion at the beginning of the Permian can be observed in the Lower Permian deposits of Sumatra (Jambi province). At the department of Palaeobotany of the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden (Naturalis), we are investigating the nature of this transition. Plant associations are analysed in detail in relation to the depositional environment and the age of the sediments in which they are found. This project is in co-operation with the Geological Research and Development Centre in Bandung (Indonesia), the department of sedimentology at the University of Utrecht, and the Fukuoka University.
