A rudimentary grasp of fossilization and classification is required for this advanced hands-on program. The purpose of this lesson is to develop an understanding of correlation, stratigraphy and the interpretation of ancient environments through the use of rocks, fossils, charts and maps. Different lithologies and fossil assemblages will be compared and contrasted.
