I'm with soobsession. Invertebrates are right up my alley.

Im mad at dinosaurs. They cost me first at states (i only got third).
It was kinda funny actually. We had a model of an Allosaurus skull, but my original partner (who i did fossils with at regionals) had made the dinosaur section of the binder, and had put an allosaurus skull picture for both allosaurus and apatosaurus. Since I basically refused to learn the dinosaurs, when i looked, i saw that the skull looked like both, but my partner and i decided that it looked more like the apatosaurus (though i knew what an apatosaurus looked like, i decided that my amazing binder couldnt very well be wrong). So that was bad.
And then I had a total brain fart and put plateosaurus instead of iguanadon. Im still not totally sure how that happened.
I'll take invertebrates over dinosaurs any day.

Invertebrates are easy! I think theres a certain level of uncertainty with dinos. I just don't like it.

Yeh I leave most of the dinos to my partner, however I do know some of the dinos by just looking at them.

Invertebrates are a whole lot easier, in my opinion. At Regionals, we even had a poster at one station to identify fossils from.

Dinos are pretty easy for me, considering I've wanted to be a paleontologist since I was four. I learned all of them from my picture books when I was little. However, how do you know the difference between corals and sponges? They look the same!
