I'm currently working on my notes (of stuff that doesn't have anything to do with ID), and I was wondering if petrifaction/petrification/silicification are the same thing?

I don't know about petrifaction but silicfication is specific to silica I believe. It's when the organism is changed completely to silica. Petrification can be many minerals. I don't know too much in detail, but I'm pretty sure someone can help you out.

Hi guys
So I'm kinda confused here-
Which mode of life would plants be under?
Also, what environments would they be in?

I just found this pdf about the different modes of life: http://www.kau.edu.sa/Files/0000410/Sub ... re%203.pdf
In it, it refers to plants as having a "fixed mode of life" on page 9.
I suppose they would commonly be found fossilized in aquatic environments like all fossils, such as a swamp.

I would assume that the grader people would accept something like "photosynthetic sessile organisms".

BTW, does anybody have some good papers about the taxa and diagrams of the event overall?
I have been focusing on each specific genus and need something for the general idea.
Thanks.

I'm in the middle of making my binder and I'm not sure how I would identify a Agnatha fossil (jawless fish). Any tips?

It's probably just going to be a fishlike shape with a somewhat visible circle at one end (at least, that's what I got from my research, I've never actually competed in this event before)

Thanks.
I'll hope I get some really obvious samples, just in case

Fortunately, I'm not doing vertebrates, my partner is!

Thanks.

I just wanted to reask (is that a word?) this question.

Thanks.
