Course content
One of the aspects of students' geological worldview is formed in understanding the main reasons and regularities of accumulation (stratification) of sediments on the Earth and within separate regions; connection of biostratons with the evolution of the organic world in chronological order and lateral arrangement; provides understanding and knowledge of the spatio-temporal sequence of formation of stratigraphic units of the earth's crust in the relationship between the individual components of the geological environment (geological time - physical and geographical conditions - sediment - rock). Laboratory classes are aimed at students mastering the skills of primary processing of paleontological data (using a magnifying glass, binocular microscope, working with determinants, etc.). Students are also introduced to the morphology of fossil objects (focusing on diagnostic informative and facial significant features).

Assessment methods and criteria
Final assessment in the form of an exam. The exam is held upon completion of the entire discipline with a maximum score of 40 points, a boundary score of 24 points. There are 4 modular works, each of which is evaluated at 10 points and laboratory works which are evaluated at 20 points.
