Paleo-root Traces

Paleo-Root Traces is a scientific construct in paleobotany that refers to the fossilized morphological and spatial imprints of plant root systems preserved in sedimentary strata, distinguishing itself from other trace fossils by providing direct evidence of ancient plant-soil interactions and subterranean architecture in paleoecological contexts.
