You are a science teacher who receives numerous unlabeled mammal and plant fossils. You are not too concerned with identifying genera and species, but you do want to show your students mammal adaptations for diet and speed. What features of the skulls, teeth, and limb bones would allow you to infer which animals were herbivores (grazers versus browsers), which were carnivores, and which ones were speedy runners? Also, could you use the plant fossils to make inferences about ancient climates?
