Fossils
This is a practical course introducing the major groups of fossils, paying particular attention to those that can be found in Eastern England. We will investigate what fossils can tell us about ancient environments and the story of evolution. Students will use the fossils in the University's Collection and borrow a set of fossils for home study. Course starts 30th September 2009
Fossils Through the Microscope
Small fossils are very common and very beautiful. Here is your chance to find them and study them using microscopes at the University. This course is for those interested in Earth Sciences, Natural Sciences, evolution and fossils. It offers techniques that they would not normally encounter, but would be able to continue as an amateur after the course. Course starts on 13th January 2010
