coelophysis has a thinner and longer skull and it's smaller and lighter than velociraptor. velociraptor has a small nostril. coelophysis has a longer tail. i hope you find this useful

annularia and calamites are the same plant. annularia are the leaves and calamites is the bark...i dont know why they have different names...youd think they could just call the whole plant the same name, right ;)

When they discovered them, they thought that they were two different plants.
It wasnt until later that they realized that they were just different parts of the same plant.

Could someone check to see if the geologic time scale portion of the wiki is correct? Because I'm getting some conflicting data.

Someone edited some of my fossils wiki in the geologic time era, I know I never wrote about supereons :(
But it still looks generally correct, what discrepancies are you seeing?

Some things like

Is it Carboniferous period, or Pennsylvanian/Mississippian period?

And some of the info like Did land animals emerge during the silurian or devonian period?
