Re: Fossils B/C
Well, it's useful if you are on an outcropping and see a trilobite fossil sticking out of the ground, but other than that.... not really useful.

Re: Fossils B/C
but do you know how much time it would take to make a field guide? I dont know about you, but i have other events to worry about. like ecology.quizbowl13 wrote:in my opinion, fossils is rather an identification event. the information you need really need could probably fit on 5 pages, and this time a field guide would be put to better use. or even make your own field guide.
95% of teens would scream if Justin Beiber was about to jump of the top of the Empire State Building. If you are in the 5% that would grab a seat and some popcorn and yell JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! post this into your sig.
possible events:ecology, fossils, pentathlon, experimental design

Re: Fossils B/C
Making a field guide would take a considerable amount of time, but it would be worth it because if you make your own field guide than you should have a better knowledge of all of the organisms than if you just buy one.
