Re: Fossils
hmm...
Coelophysis

Velociraptors

those were taken from the same website. a velociraptor clearly has bigger claws. of course on the test, you might not have a full picture of the whole thing...or you might have a skeleton...or you might have a freaky question with a bone fragment in it....but if you have a skeleton, you should still be able to see the difference.

Re: Fossils
yeah, i guess.
Oh, also, what are the differences between baculite and belemnite? They both have suture patterns!

Actually, belemnites don't really have suture patterns.

Re: Fossils
yeah, but i doubt they have the same ones...i remember one of them (i forget....states was a while ago, i think...baculites
) i have a really complicated lacy suture pattern. i didnt get much information about belemnites, but i really doubt they have the same sulture pattern (i dont have my field guide with me so i can't find a picture...wait, im online....geez
ok...
Baculite

awesome pic!!! (i like the sultures)
Belemnite
gah!!! cant find a decent picture...
wait...belemnites dont have sultures ...
...no wonder...

Re: Fossils
nopes, belemnites dont...
orthoceras? arent those the ones that like every other picture i see of them is...shiny (is that bad grammar?
) no seriously...i mean...



theyre shiny!
okay...back on topic...they have straightish lines on them, which im assuming are sultures...very simple sultures...

Re: Fossils
Its fairly simple.
Baculites is an ammonite, while orthoceras is a nautilus.
This means that bacilutes will have very complex suture structures, kinda shaped like flowers (at least I think so). Orthoceras is different, its sutures are just straight lines.
