Course objectives
Knowledges about rockforming fossil groups - organisms forming the rocks by the living or postmortal activity.
Methods and possibilities of this activity, environment of origin.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student should be thoroughly familiar with the main rock-forming fossils.

Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures and practical exercises focused on the study of rockforming organisms (both micro and macrofossils) and rocks originating due to their activities.
Assessment methods
The ending of the course is in the form of graded credit based on practical determination of individual rockforming fossil group (both macro- and microfossils)and ability of interpretation of environment and time of origin of these rocks.
