speaking of fossils, one of my problems was always the identification of how it was preserved. can someone lend me a hand there?
just google pictures with the presevation words, for the most part they r different...

I am relatively new to this event. For my binder, what should I include? What should I have memorized by the competition? What are some tips for getting like first in states? I already bought the Audubon guide. Any and all advice is welcomed. Please help me out.
