Fossils B/C

[UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F]

for the 'other' section of the fossil list I pretty much just took off stuff from Wikipedia

What's wrong with that?

Sometimes the information isn't that accurate... also the fact that I finished those sheets around two o'clock in the morning, just hours before the practice session

That's great


Hopefully that doesn't mean we have to differentiate between Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus in this event.......

lol I'm pretty sure detrial is just another name for clastic sedimentary rocks. Anyway, one that really tripped me up was stromatolites. Gotta work on those I guess.

detrital=detritus=on sea floor

Detrital is not detritus. Detrital rocks are a large group of sedimentary rocks formed by physical and chemical weathering e. g. sandstone (as opposed to non-detrital rocks, formed by biochemical deposition)

You got detritus right though



EDIT: Didn't mean to add you, Azuritemalachite. You do rocks, so you'd know this really well.

For all of the "non-specimen stuff," I just use my binder from four years ago, so yeah. It doesn't have that stuff. It does, on the other hand, have types of rocks and how they form, which is very nice.

I don't like it when there are rocks questions on fossils tests. I can see how it fits, but it isn't on the rules. Anyone who has yet to compete this year should put down a list of rocks fossils are found in, and rocks made from fossils (along with geologic time, formation, etc).

It is on the rules. I'm pretty sure it's the last one in the topics section. Plus it's on the official fossil list and the rules say you'll have to identify each one on there.

You're right, I just checked the rules. I still don't like those questions, it gives rocks people a distinct advantage........

Well since it is on the rules, you do have to do study it. It doesn't give an advantage since you already know ahead and you can study it. Plus, I've only seen some rocks questions once and they were like tiebreakers and fairly obvious with the hints.
