Thomson, Christine A.; Wilkinson, Ian P.. 2009 Robert Kidston (1852-1924) : a biography of a Scottish palaeobotanist. Scottish Journal of Geology, 45 (2). 161-168.
Abstract
This brief biography summarises the life of Scots-born Robert Kidston, who arguably became the
best and most influential palaeobotanist of his day. His collections of slides (deposited in the
Botany collection University of Glasgow), together with the hand specimens and notebooks
(deposited in the collections of the British Geological Survey, Nottingham) provide a wealth of
important scientific data with modern applications in plant taxonomy, biostratigraphy and
palaeoclimatic reconstruction.
