This day school taught by Dr Peter Sheldon is a wide-ranging introduction to this inspiring subject for beginners. Topics include how fossils get preserved, how to recognise the major fossil groups, an overview of the history of life, basic principles of evolution and the fossil record, recent finds and remaining mysteries.
There will also be a chance to study many real fossils put out in the teaching room. No previous background in palaeontology and geology is needed for the course and no reading is required in advance.
You are very welcome to bring along your own fossil specimens which you would like to be identified or which you think are of special interest.
This course is repeated on consecutive days and you are welcome to attend either one.
