SynopsisThis overview and introduction to the study of fossil invertebrates emphasizes both soft and skeletal anatomy, as well as the relationship between animals known only from fossils and those living today. It lays the foundation for students' eventual abilities to (1) recognize many of the most abundant fossils, (2) appreciate their value in interpreting ancient environments of deposition, and (3) use them as tools for stratigraphic correlation., This overview and introduction to the study of fossil invertebrates emphasizes both soft and skeletal anatomy, as well as the relationship between those known only from fossils and animals living today.
