Abstract
We prove sufficient and essentially necessary conditions in terms of the minimum degree for a graph Z to contain planar subgraphs with many edges. For example, for all positive gamma every sufficiently large graph G with minimum degree at least (2/3 + gamma) vertical bar G vertical bar contains a triangulation as a sparming subgraph, whereas this need not be the case when the minimum degree is less than 2 vertical bar G vertical bar/3.
