Learning outcomes
|
Aim of course is to acquaint the students with basic general rules of palaeontology and basic overview of the palaeontological system.
The students should be able to: - assume the basic general rules of paleontology - describe the principles of paleozoological and paleobotanical system - explain the emergence and sustentation of organisms (tafonomy) and principles of fossil organisms´ classification (taxonomy) - characterize the main groups of fossil plants and animals, desribe their phylogenetic relationships, stratigraphic and paleogeografic dispersion
