- Course objectives
- The course is devoted to students of the MSc program Geology, mainly to those who intend to pass the state examinations in the subject Paleontology. Students will be able on the advanced university level to apply the main micropaleontological methods for study of sedimentary rocks. They will interpret the main stratigraphy, origin and condition of development of sediments on the base of systematic determination of microfosssils .

- Teaching methods
- The course consists of class exercises oriented towards practical determinations of individual groups of microfossils.
- Assessment methods
- The ending of the course is realised by graded credit and it is based on the practical determination of individual groups of microfossils as well as control of protocols made by students during the class exercises.
