Syllabus******************** DISCLAIMER ********************
These notes are my personal lecture notes. They are in no way, shape or form intended to substitute for the material covered in the text book. They are simply provided as reminder of the subject matter covered during lecture period. Unless noted otherwise, the text book concepts supercede these notes.
The notes below are based on the textbook "Introduction to the Study of Dinosaurs" by Anthony J. Martin, which I began using for the course during the 2002 Summer Semester. The textbook I used for the course during the 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 Spring Semesters was "The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs" by David Fastovsky and David Weishampel. You may access the notes based on that textbook from the old home page.
