Students investigate the geologic processes that have shaped the environment on Earth over the past 4.5 billion years. The course explores the theory of plate tectonics and follows the development of common fossil forms and prehistoric life with a special focus on dinosaurs. Laboratory experience includes mineral/rock identification, analysis of fossils, and interpretation of geologic maps. One class will meet at the Field Museum.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
