Northeast-Midcontinent Paleobotanical Colloquium
The famous Gilboa fossils. The 33rd Northeast-Midcontinent Paleobotanical was held at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, from May 14th to 15th, 2016. Talks were presented on the 14th, including " A Tribute to Tom Taylor " given by Gar Rothwell. This was followed by a slate of interesting research presentations . I presented a sole-authored talk, "Water clovers and their pretenders," related to my current research. On May 15th, the meeting continued with a field trip to the Catskill Mountains. Stops were related to Devonian fossil plant sites of New York. We saw some of the famous Gilboa fossils and visited a site where ancient rooting structures were exposed. Thank you to the organizers of the colloquium and the field trip for a fantastic meeting!
