Palaeoecology - methods
Paläoökologie - Methoden
The objective of palaeoecology is the study of fossils as former organisms, their life and feeding strategies, their relations among each other and to the environment. The methodical introduction concentrates on studies about organisms of marine shelves. Uniformitarianism, physicochemical factors, trace fossils and taphonomic processes as biostratinomy and fossil diagenesis are important aspects.
Palaeoecology: Fossil Lagerstätten
Paläoökologie: Fossil-Lagerstätten
Fossil Lagerstätten are rock bodies unusually rich in palaeontological information, either in a quantitative or qualitative sense. Serious palaeoecologic studies allow the reconstruction of organisms and environments of ancient times. Palaeoecologic methods will be trained on classic fossil Lagerstätten of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

Reefs and reef-building organisms
Riffe und Riffbildner
Reef as a descriptive (morphologic and stratigraphic) and genetic (ecologic) term. An ecological reef is a rigid, wave resistant topographic structure formed by organisms. Case studies of modern coral-algal reefs. The ecosystem of reefs. Physico-chemical and ecological factors. Reef-building organisms. Stromatolites as a special reef type. Reef-dwelling organisms and bioerosion.
Reefs in Space and Time
Riffe in Raum und Zeit
Reefs as rigid, wave resistant topographic structures formed by organisms, are well known since the Proterozoic. The first reefs were microbial mats or stromatolites, replaced in time by build-ups of multicellular organisms. In the Early Palaeozoic appear sponges, bryozoans and red algae, later also corals and other organisms, building reef communities in strictly limited environments.
