Never been to nats, nor am I div C, but I do have experience with the proctor (Gary Vorwald) and his stations are typically 2 minutes long. They might be longer for nationals though, but expect somewhere in that range.
8th grade: I knew stuff about rocks, minerals, experiments, and ecosystems!
9th grade: I knew stuff about amphibians, reptiles, freshwater, and experiments!
10th grade: I knew stuff about oceanography, saltwater, birds, and fossils!
11th grade: I knew stuff about birds and fossils!

He's written Div C R&M/Fossils for at least the last three years. Someone else does Div B.

For the sedimentary rocks in Fossils, can we just use our notes from this event?

Probably, but the majority of the event is going to be fossils, so rocks will probably just be a general understanding, not in-depth like R&M.
