Description
The aim of this course is to synthesize the concepts and knowledge acquired in L1 and L2 (stratigraphy, sedimentology and life history) and to reinforce them with notions of sedimentology, biostratigraphy and anatomy. Taken together, these concepts provide the keys to surface geology for analyzing and reconstructing ancient depositional environments and interpreting their fossiliferous content in a temporal context.
