Abstract: | The Natural History Museum of Barcelona keeps palaeobotanical collections that can be considered an international reference from several points of view. The three main collections are, namely, the Carboniferous plants from the Surroca-Ogassa basin (Girona province), the Upper Cretaceous plants from the surroundings of the Pyrenean Basin (outcrops located in Lleida province) and the Miocene plants from the La Cerdanya basin (Lleida and Girona provinces); all them in Catalonia, NE Spain. The current scientific and cultural relevance is the result, to a large extent, of the studies developed by both the professionals in charge of the palaeontological collections and external researchers. All the revisions have allowed updating taxonomical data and better understanding the history of the museum collection. Moreover, revisions have increased our knowledge on macroflora diversity in former geological times. Thus, revising collections is the key factor for a value increase of both the geological heritage and the museums in charge of their preservation. |
