If you can't find info, the proctors can't.

Alright, weird question time! So, it's my first year in division C, and we did really good at regionals and states last year, but I'm wondering what the differences between division C fossils and division B fossils would be?

Anything along the lines of what they ask about would be great, for example if they focus more on identification or the time scale, or is it just random?

Thanks!

Same thing, just harder

Ok, so my partner an I always struggle with those questions that are like "list these events in which came first in geologic time". We can get them right eventually, it just takes a decent portion of the station. Any tips on how to speed up this process? I was thinking about making a master list of events, personally.

Me and my partner have a nice, organised chart with w/ 2 columns

1. Time (we normally go in periods except for the carboniferous)
2. The major events that happened, going from top(near the end) to bottom(near the beginning)

This has made it much quicker for us to do the stations that you mentioned.

For the phylum hemichordata will the test only ask about graptolites or the whole phylum?

The phylum is on the list, so it would be valid to ask questions about the whole phylum, but I would expect the test makers to mostly ask questions concerning the two orders listed.

ok thanks

What did you guys research and put in your binder for adaptations and morphological features of major fossils groups. Did you guys put pictures of brachiopods, bivalves , and etc. or did you write a description. Also how in depth did you go for fossils as evidence for evolutionary trends and for major fossil discoveries? What did you write about that? Thank you in advance for anyone that responds!

Adaptations are very important, so if you find any adaptations, you should definitely include them. As for morphological features, you should aim to have as much as possible.
Pictures are waaaaay better than descriptions.
Major fossil discoveries (Glossopteris, Tiktaalik) are tested in almost every competition so spend a lot of time researching them.
