Pseudogygites Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Attention TFF members! I'm posting this to bring you an extremely important announcement! (For Me) For the past few months, I have been posting topics regarding Ottawa fossils and the Trilobite Pseudogygites latimarginatus. I have been doing this for research and information for my grade 8 science fair project. This experiment involved the relationship between Ordovician sedimentation and the average lengths of Pseudogygites latimarginatus. The title was, "The impact of Environment on the Biodiversity of Pseudogygites latimarginatus." Though, other possible titles included, "Another one Trilo-Bites the Dust," "Trilo-Bite Sized Science," "Don't Trilo-Bite the Hand that Feeds You," and "Trilo-Bite Me!" Last week, I fully assembled the presentation board and all other related displays. I presented my project to three judges (including professors and students from Carleton University) in addition to many other people who passed by. The following day, my school held an assembly which would announce the top 5 winners of the grade 8 science fair. After much delay and suspense on my part, it was announced that I had won first place in my grade! This means that I will get the opportunity to compete in the Ontario regional science fair this April! It turns out that one of the reasons why I won first place was because the teachers who were doing research on my project's nature (name pronunciation) stumbled upon my many posts on this website! I will continue to make posts on the forum. I think that I should give acknowledgement to all the TFF members who helped me achieve my goal, or contributed in any way! This includes all the people who helped identify my mystery fossils and gave fossil hunting advice and locations during these past few months. These are in no particular order. Thank you all!

Kane Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Congratulations! This is a well-deserved honour for the work you have put into your project, and I hope it is just the beginning of even greater things to come as you proceed on this fantastic journey of scientific discovery and inquiry. All the very best to you as you go on to the regional level. The real win, of course, is the discovery process itself - and any further recognition is just icing on the cake (or the trilobite cookie ). A hearty congratulations again from an old Ottawa native. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Outstanding! 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudogygites Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Recently my mother brought up the science fair during a conversation with one of her friends. She asked her friend whether or not she could have predicted that I would win. When she said yes, my mother asked her why. Her only response was, "He had fossils!"
