Recognize the main taxa of microfossils. A special attention is given to the geological implications of the presence of microfossils in the sedimentary rocks in relation with stratigraphy, palaeoecology, diagenesis, palaeoclimatology, ...
Several groups of microfossils are described and discussed : isolation techniques, systematics, evolution-stratigraphy, other applications for geologists (paleoecology, paleoclimatology, ...).
Oral examination (theory and practical works).
