| Course contents : | Micropaleontology is the study of organic-walled and mineralized microfossils. The main groups of marine microfossils are described as well as examples of their applications in paleoecology, paleogeography, paleoclimatology, and paleooceanography. |
|
| Course objective : | general knowledge of main marine microfossils (acritarchs-prasinophytes, dinoflagellates, chitinozoans, foraminifers, ostracodes, siliceous microfossils, conodonts), their paleobiology, and illustrate their applications in paleoecology, paleogeography, paleoclimatology, and paleooceanography. |
