That's a pretty good idea. I would have never thought of that.

Well, seeing as the handbooks have a whole bunch of information you don't need, you could take it apart and just put the information you need in your binder. What I did though was just put sticky notes over everything I don't need to know to prevent it from distracting me.

And also... Dimetrodon's listed under Theraspids on the fossil list... shouldn't it be a Pelycosaur?

i might have misinterpreted your question but isnt a dimetrodon a pelycosaur?

I think that's what she's asking.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Dimetrodon should be a pelycosaur right? But it's listed as a theraspid on the Fossil list.

gah...i think this is what your asking

dimetrodons are pelycosaurs and pelycosaurs are theraspids....right?

Okay, for some reason... I think I just got confused about what I'm asking myself Sorry about wording it in a way that's hard to understand.

But nevermind, I think I understand it a bit better, thanks though.

If you have a book, the easiest way to find things quick is to put tabs where the major phylla start. It helped out soooo much!!

LOL... i have like 40 tabs in my 4 or 5 inch binder....

actually, pelycosaurs are not therapsids (yes, the national list has this spelt wrong). Pelycosaurs were the precursors to the therapsids, and the therapsids developed out of them. The therapsids then developed into mammals. Wikipedia has a decent page on the evolution of mammals:

oh, and dimetridon is a pelycosaur, its just one of the several typos on the list
