Fossils B/C

Well, that's obviously not gonna happen. I think they're stretched to the limits.

[quizbowl]

not exactly. it just seems that they've gotten lazy. the list from '06 i believe had maybe 3 or 4 changes.

[paleonaps]

How much more diversity could you want? They cover most groups!

[quizbowl]

i just wish they could cover birds more, or give a specific genus or two for the echinoderms, something along those terms. i would enjoy different types of crinoids.

[paleonaps]

Okay. I get what you mean. I think they could do more to stress the bird-dinosaur relationship as well.

[quizbowl]

exactly, paleo.

They could very easily reclassify Archeopteryx on the list, and maybe add some alverezsaurids or something.... that's why I wish it was Rocks-Inverts-Vertebrates.

i think they should have some dodos on there

Except dodos aren't preserved in the fossil record. Just because they're extinct doesn't mean they're fossils.

Yeah. However, some teratorns would be nice. Argentavis would be my first pick.
