ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Recommended is the previous studies of Palaeontology I and Historical Geology.
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:	In result of the Lecture, each student is able to recognize the basic groups of fossil invertebrates; understands their position in systematic hierarchy, and is familiar with their anatomical structure. Moreover, knows the stratigraphic ranges (to the orders level) and biostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental importance of particular groups.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Verbal examination of the materials and laboratory exercises (the latter prior to the former). Checked-up is the understanding of all subjects presented by the Lecture.
Practical placement:	(in Polish) brak
