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