Scioly.org

I remember last year that there was a spreadsheet posted somewhere on the internet that detailed all the rocks and minerals (and their identifying characteristics, etc.) as well as essential vocabulary. Is there anything like it now?

Are we allowed to bring anything in during the event to help us out? like a chart or something.

you can bring 1 magnifying glass; 1 published feild guidethat you can tab, write in or attach post-it or other notes; and 1 3-ring binder that is any size contaning info. in any form from any sorce. The materials must be 3- hole punched & inserted into rings (sheet protectors are allowed)

HAPPY TO HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I'm probably going to end up doing the binder over Christmas break, if I even do the event at all.

Would you use a dichotomous key to organize the species listing, or would you use multiple tabs, with one for each genera?

So in this event are there only questions about the fossils on the fossil list or do they ask you things about fossils in general?

Read the rules!

Oh ok. I see that it can cover alot of topics, but what is normally the focus of the event?

My partner and i were wondering: What IS an ammonite???

They're similar to the nautilus, with a spiral shell.

so the fossils event is basically just bout learning about the different fossils and the environment they lived in?
