Palaeozoology of Invertebrates, part II 1300-WPZBW2-OG

The scientific subject comprises a general review of the body structure, mineralogy of skeleton, stratigraphic occurrence (range), and geological importance of the majority of invertebrate groups (Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata) known from the fossil record. Discussed are all the recognized groups (phyla) of invertebrates of the Animal Kingdom, as well as their subphyla and classes, selected are the most common groups/classes). In many groups, the morphological structure is studied to the orders level. Special attention is paid to the occurrence of particular groups (taxa) in Poland, the rare reports of some uncommon or less important groups including.
