Do they move around, or pretty much stay still. Things like oysters, mussels and barnacles are sessile as adults, while fish are motile.

A agree, rocks was pretty cool. but fossils has been my obsession since I was four, so I'm really happy!!!!!!!

Am I like the only person who actually prefers Fossils to Rocks and Minerals?

No, I just said I LOVE it too. You are not alone.

I personally think Rocks and Minerals was easier.

I don't know. The identification is easier, but there's more information besides just IDing to do. I think they're about the same.

Just to be sure, the whole thing that says "topics include, but not limited to" means that anything is fair game, right? Because if it is, then I hate the proctor who did this! Stupid proctor man...whole field of paleontology... *continues with untintelligable grumbling*

Does anyone know if we are allowed to tab our field guide in fossils?
Thx!

You can do pretty much anything with your binder. Except setting it on fire or rig it so it can access the internet.
