100 Dinosaurs Final Review

In reviewing for the final, look over the quizzes most (but not all) of the final is
taken from material in the quizzes. Some of it is word-for-word, some of it is re-
worded.

The final will be taken primarily from things we have studied since the mid-term,
but there will be some things carried over.
