The excursion is focused on demonstration of some information from the courses on historical and stratigraphical geology. Depending on the season and state of localites examples of different geological periods occurring in the Bohemian Massif are selected. Individual excursion days usually cover examples in the Lower Palaeozoic, Cretaceous and Tertiary.
Usually, the individual days are organized independently and we travel to each one separately. Transportation to the meeting place is individual, everyone pays for the transportation themselves. The expected costs per student required to complete the course fluctuate according to the chosen means of transport and excursion locations in a given year (locations are selected for each year according to the situation in active quarries, expected conditions depending on the weather, etc.) The total maximum amount can be around 1500 CZK, but it is highly variable even within the offer of excursion days for a given year. In the case of a difficult social situation, ask the study department in advance about the possibility of a scholarship to cover the mentioned costs. Due to the irreplaceability of field trips and the importance of field practice, it is not possible to replace teaching by alternative activities. Last update: Kraft Petr, doc. RNDr., CSc.

The excursion days are focused on localities representing various periods of geological time. From all the days, one day Paleozoic localities are visited (usually in the Barrandian), one Mesozoic (Upper Cretaceous) and one Cenozoic (usually Tertiary in the north Bohemia). Four to five localities are usually studied every excursion day. Explanations cover: 1) general geological characteristics of relevant period, 2) geological characteristics of the visited area, 3) characteristics of the locality and its surroundings, 4) interesting geological features available at the locality. The join part is followed by individual study, measures and sampling. The visit is concluded by join remarks, determination of material. Last update: Kraft Petr, doc. RNDr., CSc. (18.05.2012)
