The scientific work of the department and the application of research results:

• dynamics of fossil communities evolution
• evolution of marine and terrestrial environments, distribution of fossil fauna and flora (paleogeography)
• function morphology, evolution, autecology and synecology of the fossil mass
• biostratigraphy
• co-operation with other scientific disciplines (sedimentology, biology, geochemistry) for complex interpretations of the rock record
