Sometimes, info can be hard to find for genera since many websites are a lot more detailed about species. When I can't find a lot of info about a genus, I'll usually just look at some of the most common species and combine info from those. It's not perfect, but it works. So, for web-toed salamander...

I can seem to find very much information about Batrachoseps (slender salamander). Anyone else have some luck? The same thing goes for web-toed salamanders (Hydromantes) Sometimes, info can be hard to find for genera since many websites are a lot more detailed about species. When I can't find a lot ...

Fairly rare, although be prepared to answer how different genera/families are similar anatomically

Will identifying from skeleton also be rare?

Have you guys seen an abundance of cladograms on your past tests, or are they farely rare?

When finding your information, do you write down information about the living version as well as the fossilized version? For example, could I just use Wikipedia, even though it talks about the living version? I know that a lot of the genera on the list are extinct, but some *such as Carcharodon* ar...

There's a hundred or so, just look at the numbering. Rocks/trace fossils don't really count as fossils, IMO.

PSHHH. I am so ignorant. Duh, look at the numbering. Thanks!

How many different fossils are on the fossils list? I am estimating 200 but I might be way off.

How would you recommend going about problems on the test that you don't know or don't have notes on? What is the best way to handle this and get the best answer you can?

Also, does anyone know how to put an image into this?

Does anyone have binder compiling tips? What should be included for each species, the amount of info, how to find information quickly when taking the test, things like that.
