2. Panga ea  Supercontinent  Triassic Period.  Mixed mesophytic forest  China to the middle section of the North American continent.

4. Mixed Mesophytic Forest Grown in/ adapted to a moist environment. Fossil bed in Idaho is a result of the forest, and has left behind remains of plant and animal species Grown in/ adapted to a moist environment. Fossil bed in Idaho is a result of the forest, and has left behind remains of plant and animal species

5. Purpose  To separate pollen, spores and remains of once living organisms  No Hydrofluoric Acid  To match the pollen and spores to their original

6. Materials. Clay. Hydrogen peroxide. Computer. Hyposodium Chlorite. Distilled water. Meshed screen (300). Electric scale. Microscope. Filter. Mortar and pestle. Glacial Acetic Acid. Pipettes. Glycerin. Slides/ cover slips. Glycerin. Sodium Hydroxide. Hydrochloric Acid. Test tubes

7. Protocol And Analysis #1  Mortar and pestle 300 mesh screen  1 part hydrochloric Acid to.2g clay  4 part glacial acetic acid to.2g clay  Add a drop of the diluted acid to slide + clay.  Observe under microscope

8. Protocol And Analysis #1  Mortar and pestle 300 mesh screen  1 part hydrochloric Acid to.2g clay  4 part glacial acetic acid to.2g clay  Add a drop of the diluted acid to slide + clay.  Observe under microscope  Not very useful  Glacial acetic acid attacks anything with calcium in it

9. Protocol And Analysis # 2  3% hydrogen peroxide added to the 300 mesh screened clay  pipette to add a few drops of the diluted acid to the slide

10. Protocol And Analysis # 2  3% hydrogen peroxide added to the 300 mesh screened clay  pipette to add a few drops of the diluted acid to the slide  hydrogen peroxide did not change much

11. Protocol # 3 Trial 1Trial 2 Add 35 drops of glacial acetic acidAdd 35 drops of Sodiumhypo Chlorite Set time limits of 5 min/30 min/45 min/ 1 hour/ 1 day Dilute with tap water Filter, then let it air dry over night. Add a small amount of the treated clay to two clean slides. Use a pipette to add 1 drop of distilled water to one slides, and 2 drop of glycerin to the other.

12. Analysis # 3  Same broken pieces of barrels and pollen in slides  Chemicals did not destroy pollen, but the mortar and pestle

13. Protocol And Analysis #4  Clay from the block + a drop or two, of distilled water unto the slide.  Place a cover slip on it and observe under microscope.

14. Protocol And Analysis #4  Clay from the block + a drop or two, of distilled water unto the slide.  Place a cover slip on it and observe under microscope.  Simple and easy to do  so many preserved parts of organisms and pollen that we have captured
