How many different fossils are on the fossils list? I am estimating 200 but I might be way off.

There's a hundred or so, just look at the numbering. Rocks/trace fossils don't really count as fossils, IMO.

Also I am struggling to decide the right formating system...
Should it be a legnthy paragraph format...

Or a bit shorter paragraph format...
Image
Or like this...

Please help I was trying to redo the binder in the format of the 3rd image... If I do that should I attempt to break everything down into bullet points (when I am just sepeating sentences...) like distrigushing features for the 3rd image?

And also (about) how much harder is states?

Whichever one you can read most easily and locate info in is best. Your decision. States is around the same as regionals for Pennsylvania, but states and regionals tournaments are generally independent so your results may vary.

i would do the bulletin points, because the stations are really fast and you need fast facts,rather than searching for it in a lengthy paragraph
