What college courses are most relevant to a career in vertebrate paleontology?
Hi, I am a college freshman planning to major in either geology or paleobiology, and I was wondering what classes would be most useful for my future career. For example, is sedimentology more relevant to paleontology than, say, igneous petrology or structural geology? And how much should I focus on taking biology-related courses? I heard that paleontology is a mix of both geology and biology, and I wanted to know how I should split my classes between those two subjects. Thank you!
