Paleontology

This course enables students to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the different fossil groups, their taxonomy, evolutionary history, and their significance in stratigraphic correlation and paleoecological reconstruction. Through both theoretical and practical approaches, students will learn to identify major fossil groups, interpret their evolutionary trends, and analyze their environmental and geological implications. The course also emphasizes the application of paleontological data to stratigraphy, allowing students to understand how fossils serve as key tools for dating sedimentary sequences and reconstructing past ecosystems and paleoenvironments
