What Will I Learn?
This Paleontology Course delivers a focused, hands-on path from field to lab to public outreach. Learn to read maps and stratigraphic columns, design efficient field programs, log sections, and sample fossils systematically. Build skills in taphonomy, paleoecology, biostratigraphy, and geochemical analysis, then translate your results into clear reports, digital datasets, and engaging fossil trail materials.
