Name_______________________ Lab Activity: Classifying Bony Skulls Directions: 1.Record which skull set you are assigned.______ 2.Find similarities in the skull set and place them in groups. 3.Use the following resources to identify the order, family, genus, & species of each skull. p : Evolutionary Relationships, Phylogeny, & Cladistics Handout: Bony Skulls - 1. Feeding & Eating 2. Skulls & Feeding Handout: Teeth & Taxonomy p Class Mammalia Characteristics & Classification p Kingdom Animalia Characteristics p Vertebrate Characteristics Appendix A3 - A4 Animal Phyla Grading:: Your overall grade is based on the accuracy of your identification of genus and species, whether or not you place the skulls in the proper family, and the detail of your notes and observations. Objective:: You have been assigned a set of 15 mammal skulls. You must classify each and identify the order, family, genus, and species of each mammalian skull.
