This question really has me fossil-ized. I need to dig deeper into decision table testing before the exam.

Wait, so if the fossil is both Jurassic and a tooth, it gets catalogued twice? Seems like a lot of paperwork if you ask me.

Exactly, it will be a bit more work but necessary for accurate cataloguing.
