There is too much repetitive information and very ittle new information on each group of fossils. The long Kingdom descriptions are repeated with every group. More pictures would be good. Also the ads get in the way at the bottom and they make it impossible finish reading the new information.

Pretty simple but easy to use and informative, concise, and easy-to-understand descriptions which, in my case, bolstered my theory to a "T". Haha. Thanks guys.
