Procedures:

Visit http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/paleo/fossils/, and read about the types of

fossils and fossil preservation.

Visit a number of websites (a few starters are listed below) that deal with the

topic of the history of life on earth.  Gather (and cite!) information and images

to allow you to prepare a virtual poster session.
In your poster session presentation you will need to detail the classification of

the group of creatures whose fossil history you are detailing. Include the time of

first occurrence, time of maximum diversity, and whether or not the group is

extinct or extant.
