- Syllabus
- 1.Fossils: 1.Rhodophyta, Chlorophyta- macroscopic morphology 2. Cormobionta – basic marks of individual groups: articulated or non articulated stem, types of foliage, morfology of bark (Lycopodiophyta) 3. Foraminifera - study of models, 4. Porifera - bodies morphology 5. Archaeocyatha – longitudinal and transverse look 6. Coelenterata – (Conulata, Stromatoporoidea, Anthozoa) - solitaire x colonial, inner symetry 7.
