In this wide-ranging introduction, we show how fossils get preserved, sometimes in surprising detail, and investigate various aspects of evolution and natural selection as seen in the fossil record. The course encompasses four billion years of life; from microbes through extinct groups such as trilobites, dinosaurs, and mammoths to the present biosphere. Samples from a fine collection of fossils support the teaching.
