Palaeontology

The objective of the present course is to give an overview of the general geological set up of the Indian subcontinent embracing all its components form Precambrian to Phanerozoic eons. In addition, physiogrpahy of India is also covered along with general principles of stratigraphy. Another major rationale is to introduce the elements of Palaeontology starting from general aspects to the morphologies of many invertebrate groups; evolution of horse is mainly covered for vertebrate Palaeontology. It is important to point out here that at undergraduate level, the entire aspects of neither Palaeontology nor Stratigraphy can be covered; however; only general idea can be given which have been tried in this course.

Syllabus

I am a teacher of Applied Geology, in Sagar University, M.P since 2013 after serving Geological Survey of India for almost 2 years. My basic teaching strategy in the classes and in field is usually in interactive mode and I have tried to give some foundation of palaeontology and stratigraphy through e-content working with EMMRC.
