Yes, you were right on everything, so you or Unome can ask.

Hello Sammiha! Welcome to the forum!
What are the conditions required for a specimen to be fossilized?
What type of fossil is the Burgess Shale famous for?
What time period of fossils is the Burgess Shale famous for?
What phylum of fossils are dominant in the Burgess Shale?

You forgot to answer question no. 2 but those are all correct. Feel free to ask a question (and maybe provide the answer with your question).varunscs11 wrote:British Columbia; specifically Marrella but soft-bodied organisms; Cambrian; Arthropoda

Lol. Ok. 
1. Identify this specimen.
2. What is the shell made out of?
3. What was special about this specimen's feeding mechanism?
4. What is a key identification factor?

Lol. Both of us need to worry considering Texas State and Pennsylvania State are a week away. But the correct answers are
1) Rhynchonelida
2) Calcium Phosphate and Chitin (most brachiopods are like this)
3) Rhynchonelida did not have a brachium meaning there was nothing supporting the lophophore. This allowed this Order to survive many of the major extinctions.
4) The zig-zag commisure is what I was looking for..
Hope both of us get 1st at State in Fossils

Okay, so what is the common name of this specimen A?
Identify b)
and c)
and explain what types of taxa they are.
