rocks makes perfect sense now cus you know slate's parent rock is shale rocks can be summed up with one word cycle!

One team tried to get closer to hear the discussion between my partner and me talk. They also looked at our papers. Man! I wish I had that packet. The other team from my school got 7th by using that packet.

what packet? the one from tufts?

[sciolykid101]

Perhaps. I don't know. I'm not actually in the event. The invitational wasn't that good either.

[dudeincolorado]

thats ok i just wanted to know because i've been studying off of that

[sciolykid101]

In the invitational, they just had questions on ID, geologic time scales, definitions (which we had in our mini-binder), and preservation of specimens. Hope that helped someone about the structure of the event!
