Ichnology, the discipline that focuses on the processes and products involved in the interaction of animals and substrates, is an exciting field that has expanded exponentially in the last decades. Ichnology provides valuable insights into a number of sedimentologic and paleobiologic fields, including facies analysis, petroleum geology, paleoecology and evolution. Note: GEOL 847 and GEOL 447 possess similar content. Students will not receive credit for both courses.
