Fossils

[Mr. Cool]

Talk about Fossils here. I guess I'll join this event, but I wish Rocks and Minerals was still an event.

[gneissisnice]

fossils was an awesome event, I did it a few years ago, and I'm really glad that I get to do it again. And don't worry, you do have to know some rock stuff.

help i have no idea what fossils is some help me i know all my rocks stuff (see below) from what i see it's alot of name the phylum and what type of fossil is this?

[gneissisnice]

its questions on identification (obviously), generally based on genus, but it can be broader, and there are other questions on habitat, formation (cast, mold, petrifaction, etc.), anatomy, and age. I've also seen questions on geologic time. Also, know your index fossils. You're gonna love youre earth science reference tables (if you dont get these since you dont take a regents if not in new york, print them out online, they really help, trust me. Its a great event, like a mix between rocks and biology.

[gneissisnice]

Does anyone have any idea when the list is coming out?
