Phew, I got through trilobites today. Took a surprisingly long time, considering that there are only 4. By the way, anyone happen to know the feeding habit of phacops? I couldnt really find anything so i put filter feeder.

i looked i cant find anything either. Filter feeder seems reasonable, i mean its no t-rex....

It is not known the mode of feeding, however filter feeding has been proposed.

hey, i'm in the same circumstances, i figure out b4 the break that i have to do fossils because no one is willing to do it! but i think that fossils can be really fun and i can know more about another field of science.
anyway, i'm starting to build my binder and have some questions: where do you find the information ? like i'm doing forams right now, where can i find stuff about nummulites? the internet doesn't offer much though.
are you guys using the audobon book?
Thanks so much.
