    Hi, my name is Corey Coutu and I am a graduate student in the Geology Department of the University of Vermont.  Geology can be a complex subject to understand, and this section presents resources that may be helpful in understanding the geological background to the evolutionary concepts presented in this site.  Below are a number of links designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of how the study of geology and evolution can walk hand in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions: Frequently asked questions about evolution                                                                       and the process of natural selection

What is a Fossil?:
                 Information concerning the "how" and "why" of                                                                   fossilization. (Lesson Plan Integrated)

How Geologists Tell Time:
     A discussion on the methods used to date rocks and                                                           fossils (Lesson Plan Integrated)

The Evolving Planet:
              Links to plate and climate reconstruction across geologic time

Evolution in the News:
