Le Moyne College

Subject:

Description:

The term paleobiology encompasses the study of any ancient life, but this course focuses on a single group, the dinosaurs, an incredibly diverse assemblage of animals that dominated the ancient landscape for over 130 million years. The public appreciation and fascination with dinosaurs has grown steadily in the 180 years following their modern discovery. This course uses dinosaurs as a vehicle for a broader investigation of the biological and physical systems that comprise planet Earth, and the interrelated nature of these systems as they relate to the evolution and extinction of Earth’s inhabitants over the vastness of geologic time. Does not carry biology major credit.
