GEOS 3432: Introduction to Fossils
4.00 Credits
The University of Texas at Dallas
Introduction to the study of invertebrate fossils occurring in Cretaceous sedimentary strata in North Texas. "Hands on" approach to the study of invertebrate macrofossils and microfossilsincludes learning how to (1) collect fossils at selected outcrops in the field; (2) process samples for fossils in the laboratory; (3) illustrate microfossils using the scanning electron microscope; and (4) identify fossils using the available paleontological literature. Both lectures and laboratory exercises will focus on the invertebrate phyla occurring in selected North Texas Cretaceous outcrops. Laboratory and field trip course. Not available to students who have taken, or are taking, GEOS 3430. (3-3) Y

GEOS 4322: The Earth System
3.00 Credits
The University of Texas at Dallas
Planet Earth comprises a system of interacting spheres: atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere, all of which have played an important role in Earth processes and Earth history. This course examines these Earth systems and how their interactions over time have effected their evolving compositions, the evolution of life and Earth's climate. The short-term and long-term parts of the Carbon cycle provide the underlying theme for the study of the Earth System. Prerequisites: GEOS 1103, 1104, 1303, 1304, and 2409. (3-0) Y
