| Summary: | Jesuits such as Alonso de Ovalle and Antonii Sepp, naturalists-explorers such as Alcide d’Orbigny and Charles Darwin, and scientists such as Alfred Wilhelm Stelzner and Rudolf Zuber discovered and collected fossil plants from the 17th century onwards. The first descriptions and illustrations of material recovered in our country date back to the second half of the 19th century and correspond to European researchers such as Hans Bruno Geinitz, Ladislaus (Wladyslaw) Szajnocha, and Fritz Kurtz. Argentine paleobotany was born as a paleontology specialty in the 20th century.
