Course Description
Most of our fossil record consists of shelled animals without a backbone. These fossils provide a wealth of information about the history of life on Earth. This course will introduce you to the major invertebrate fossil groups, as well as demonstrate how scientists use these fossils to study evolution, ecology, and environmental change in deep-time.
