    Description
    This course is a study of earth history through an analysis of the fossil and rock record. Subjects include geologic dating, global tectonics, stratigraphy, fossils, biological evolution, and the planet's origin. Particular emphasis is placed on the paleogeographic reconstruction of Earth beginning in the Precambrian and ending with current conditions. This is a general course for liberal arts students and a beginning course for geology majors. One single-day weekend field trip is required.
