Re: Fossils
In my opinion dinos are easier.

Especially if all they throw at you is mucrospirifer, elrathia, and paracarcinosoma

Re: Fossils
Im mad at dinosaurs. They cost me first at states (i only got third).
It was kinda funny actually. We had a model of an Allosaurus skull, but my original partner (who i did fossils with at regionals) had made the dinosaur section of the binder, and had put an allosaurus skull picture for both allosaurus and apatosaurus. Since I basically refused to learn the dinosaurs, when i looked, i saw that the skull looked like both, but my partner and i decided that it looked more like the apatosaurus (though i knew what an apatosaurus looked like, i decided that my amazing binder couldnt very well be wrong). So that was bad.
And then I had a total brain fart and put plateosaurus instead of iguanadon. Im still not totally sure how that happened.
I'll take invertebrates over dinosaurs any day.

Re: Fossils
Invertebrates are easy! I think theres a certain level of uncertainty with dinos. I just don't like it.
SO stressed!

Re: Fossils
Invertebrates are a whole lot easier, in my opinion. At Regionals, we even had a poster at one station to identify fossils from.
There once was a group of teens
Who were lean mean science machines.
They liked to win medals,
when everything settles
and their favorite color was green.

Re: Fossils
Dinos are pretty easy for me, considering I've wanted to be a paleontologist since I was four. I learned all of them from my picture books when I was little. However, how do you know the difference between corals and sponges? They look the same!

And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.
