Abstract

X-ray tomographic methods have been evaluated for their suitability to visualise morphology and anatomy of fossil fruits and seeds preserved in the oil shale of the Middle Eocene Messel Formation (former Lake Messel, near Darmstadt, Germany). Micro-computed tomography (microCT) is suitable for evaluation of gross morphology and tissue preservation. Synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) enables visualisation of gross morphology, tissues, and their detailed cellular structure. Of 30 taxa studied, only 4 exhibit good
