Sample Test #3 - Final Exam:  Problems and Patterns in Vertebrate Evolution
This is the final from the last time I taught the course, Fall of 2003. I explored some different topics this semester, and left out many topics that are on this old test. Just ignoure the topics that do not look familiar. What I did differently this time was spend 4 classes on Cenozoic mammalian faunal evolution, and that area will have its place on this final.
