  Principles of paleontology including the description/classification of fossils and the uses of paleontological data. Introduction to the ten phyla of fossilized invertebrate animals and methods used to distinguish fossilized organisms based upon preserved hard parts. Fossilized organisms are related to their paleoecological setting and stratigraphic position. Three (3) lectures per week. A minimum grade of "C" (2.0 or above) must be earned in this course before it can be counted in a physical science major or minor or as a prerequisite for any other course.
