Invertebrate Paleontology and Paleobotany Lecture 01
Invertebrate Paleontology and Paleobotany is a graduate level course in paleontology at Utah State University, which covers the major groups of marine invertebrates, fossil plants, and the important techniques and tools used in the field of paleontology. It covers ichnology, fossil preservation, taphonomy, ontogeny, cladistics, biostratigraphy, paleoecology, extinction and evolutionary rates, and many other tools used by professional paleontologists in the study of fossils and their importance in the field of geology. Course lectures are produced and broadcast from the Uintah Basin Campus in Vernal, Utah.

Thanks so much for posting these lectures. I'm a perpetual student, working on 2nd BS and masters enviro sci w/ emphasis on biology and animals / urban ecology. No paleontology classes at my uni tho. Zoology, comparative anatomy, evolution etc have always fascinated me. Plus I have a nephew who's insanely into dinosaurs, his knowledge level exceeds most adults and he's only 5! Thus I need new material to teach him (you'll probably be seeing him in about 15 years lol). So again, thanks for posting these lectures.

Thank-you very much for posting lectures.l am aiming to become a plaeontologist, and so these are very valuable for me.l would study paleontology more.

Thank you for your great lecture, Dr. Burger. I was curious on how paleontologists define fossil species. I think in some cases it may seem pretty obvious, however considering the existing cryptic diversity in living forms and the absence of molecular evidence in the fossil record I think it might be even more challenging.
