And did I get the question right? :P
It looks right to me, so you can go.
Fossils is on a three year rotation with Rocks and Minerals - this was its third year. I'm sad to see it go after my third year on it (and just as I was getting good!) but change is inevitable.

Interesting. I was wondering if Rocks and Minerals would come back. I looked at guides, and it seems perfect for me. It's just that I didn't know it was on the rotation... :(

Srry didn't get on since no one replied in weeks. The first answer is correct. Bryozoans are most closely related to brachiopods by the fact that they both have lophophores.

There once was a group of teens
Who were lean mean science machines.
They liked to win medals,
when everything settles
and their favorite color was green.

Genera? Never heard it, but it definitely sounds right. I'll have to remember that. Genera. Genera. Genera. :D

And, yup. Quiz, your go.
