Will they be asking you about organic rocks/mineraloids?
100% of deaths are somehow caused by science.
Don't be a statistic.
Don't do science.

Only mineraloid I remember on the list was opal.

As for organic, you need to know calcite/aragonite and the various limestones, as well as coquina. Those are the most organic you get.
