1. a. Radiometric dating
b. Relative dating
2. a. Superposition b. Lateral continuity c. Original Horizontality d. Cross-cutting relationships
3. 60 million years
4. I have no idea what a and b are, the pictures are pretty bad (I guess that's part of the event)
d is Elrathia, Cambrian
c is Phacops, Devonian
B is definitely heliophylum

Either an oddly stretched-out Glossopteris or some sort of feather? Or maybe one of those weird Cambrian explosion creatures...

1. Osteichthyes
2. Tiktaalik
3. It is the transition between fish and amphibians
4. Neck that moves independently of body, tetrapod lungs, tetrapod ribs

I did kind of go overboard, and I decided to include a whole station.
1-3 are correct.
4. c and d are correct.

Heliophyllum is correct, although you forgot to state the period is Devonian.

Yep, a was Glossopteris... Permian Period.

EDIT: Also, I was looking for Absolute Dating for 1a, but that's not a big deal.

lol especially when they have to mass produce tests and they're in black-in-white and sometimes the ink is running low so you have those weird streaks.

Haha, don't even get me started on the Astro DSOs...when you have a literal black-and-white printer (not grayscale, but black and white), against the dark backdrop all you see are white spots.
*Off topic, sorry*

Dude so true. Black and white pics in rocks were awful but thank god I only had to take one of those. I agree, Astro DSO black and white is like the epitome of crappy pictures. But in fossils, black and white pictures aren't that bad and sometimes based off of the question you can figure out what the picture is. Sometimes the hardest thing is figuring out what is the actual fossil. I think my partner and I were able to do a test without any images because we knew all the stereotypical answers, etc. At least they won't give us pictures at state (unless its Texas).
