No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 used the number for Department of Earth Sciences); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The principles of paleontology with particular stress on the species concept and evolution; examples will be drawn primarily from the fossil record of plants and vertebrates. Laboratory work will include projects related to lecture topics.
As printed in the 1973–74 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
