Course Objectives:
The aim of this course is to provide students with the necessary knowledge of a selected group of fossil organisms. Mastering in theoretical (literature) and analytical (microscopy) knowledge of the latest results and skills of determining the specific microfossils and nannofossils in order to determine biozones and markers for biostratigraphic, paleoecological and paleogeographic interpretation. |
Learning Outcomes:
After completion of the course the student is able to independently identify and describe the different taxa of certain group. |
