Please help I was trying to redo the binder in the format of the 3rd image... If I do that should I attempt to break everything down into bullet points (when I am just sepeating sentences...) like distrigushing features for the 3rd image?

And also (about) how much harder is states?
Whichever one you can read most easily and locate info in is best. Your decision. States is around the same as regionals for Pennsylvania, but states and regionals tournaments are generally independent so your results may vary.
Oh and 1st and 2nd are the same image?

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* are still living.

They should be the same organism, but some things you can write about the fossils are the distribution, commonly found fossils, etc.

So I don't write about how it lived, ate, etc?

Do write about those. It's probably similar to its current lifestyle though.

Okay, so I need a reply ASAP (we've got a week to comp. and we have to cram to finish our notes because my partner and I are stupid). When identifying the taxa, do they need to be down to the level as in like KPCOFGS? or just what's on the list, like KPOG?

You only need to ID the most specific taxonomic level possible as indicated by the numbering on the list (unless otherwise specified by the test writer)
