Fossils/Fossil List

Invertebrates
The majority of the fossils you will be responsible for knowing are classed as invertebrates. This makes sense for two reasons- they are the fossils you are most likely to come across, and they are the easiest to get physical samples of. They may not be everyone's favorites, but they are there, and should definitely not be passed over because they seem boring.

Foraminifera
The class Foraminifera, or as they are usually called, forams, are extremely basic fossils. The yare single celled organisms, the oldest of which date back to the Permian.
