This coarse deals with the invertebrate macrofossils. It includes phylum porifera, phylum cnidaria, phylum brachiopoda, phylum annelida, phylum mollusca (class bivalvia, class gastropoda, and class cephalopoda), phylum echinodermata, class echinoidea, and phylum arthropoda.
By the end of this course, the student must be able to demonstrate abundant and competent knowledge of contemporary concepts in the gravity surveying, processing, nature of gravity anomalies, methods of interpretation of gravity maps, and integrate this knowledge in understanding the role of gravity measurements in mineral and hydrocarbon exploration.
THIS COURSE AIMS TO DEVELOP A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AND SKILS OF MINERAL OPTICS IN ORDINARY LIGHT AND IN POLARIZED LIGHT. OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MINERALS UNDER CROSSED POLAR. CONVERGENT LIGHT AND INTERFERENCE FIGURES. UNIAXIAL AND BIAXIAL MINERALS. REVIEW THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME MAJOR ROCK-FORMING MINERALS
This course helps the student to understand the development of the various atomic models, wave particle duality,atomic spectra and review the the main relativistic formulas. This will help the student in the subsequent study of solid state crystallography, x-ray diffraction , along with a variety of synthesis and characterization techniques.
