1.  Identify the genus
2.  What time period did this genus live in?
3.  What is the purpose of the position this specimen is found in?
Please don't look at the URL!

Again, don't look at the URl.
1.  Identify to genus
2.  Time period?
3.  What part of the organism is preserved in fossils?  What is this part used for?
Me:
Trilobite... Let's go with Phacops, Devonian, to protect the soft underside
Belemnitella, Cretaceous, Guard (shell)

Correct, but for part three I was also looking for what *_________* is used for.

edit: I meant question three on part two, sorry

Can we have each question only have a set of questions applying to a single specimen/picture, or on a single topic? I know that's how the actual event works, but with so many questions and answers, this thread is really messy.

e. g.

//Specimen picture\\

1.What genus was it?
2.When did it live?
3.etc.
