Short description: |
The science subjected to the morphological structure, mode of life and environmental conditions of the most important groups of fossil invertebrates. |
Full description: |
The scientific subject comprises a general review of the body structure, mineralogy of skeleton, stratigraphic occurrence (range), and geological importance of the majority of invertebrate groups known from the fossil record. Discussed are all the recognized groups (phyla) of invertebrates of the Animal Kingdom, as well as their subphyla and classes (for arthropods and echinoderms, selected are the most common groups/classes). In many groups, the morphological structure is studied to the orders level. Special attention is paid to the occurrence of particular groups (taxa) in Poland, the rare reports of some uncommon or less important groups including. |

Learning outcomes: |
Student is able to recognize the most important invertebrate fossils, present in the lab collection, and to clsssify them in the standard hierarchy. Moreover, knows the stratigraphic range of particular systematic groups. |
Assessment methods and assessment criteria: |
Two written exams(colloquia) to recognize, and describe systematically, the lab collection specimens, and to precize their stratigraphic range. |
