Linked Course:E&ES227
During this laboratory course we will look at fossils from the Wesleyan Collection to understand invertebrate morphology, physiology and ecology of living and extinct invertebrate animals, with emphasis on understanding of the different building plans of animals in the most common Phyla. We will also look into the morphology of vascular plants in Paleozoic and Meso/Cenozoic. We will look particularly at linkage of form and function, and at the evolution of morphological and ecological diversity over time, and pay attention to various modes of preservation of fossils.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
