Botanize!

While searching for nurseries that cary primitive plants, I came across an excellent gallery of x-radiographs of various plants. The artist is Judith McMillan. This isn't particularly palaeontological in nature, but at least it has a magnolia (around since the Cretaceous).
I doubt that anything new would be contributed to science by examining flowers via x-ray, but I'd still classify this as a melding of art and science rather than pure art.

Those are pretty cool. I checked the site out. I've been doing some playing of my own with X-Ray art. Though mine's more photoshop and less actual xrays ;p
