Content:
Theory teaching
Methods of collection and laboratory methods of preparation for palaeontological analysis of certain groups of fossil organisms that will be subject of graduation work, conservation of palaeontological material, biostratigraphic and palaeoecological characteristics of certain groups of fossil organisms. Particular importance is given to acquaintance with the morphological characteristics and terminology of a particular group of fossil animals. Practical teaching
