Fossil Team 1

An important part of the information the Museum is hoping to present is where in Utah these fossils have been found. They have provided you with a database that includes how many dinosaur fossils were found in each county. Use this information to do the following:

  1. Color code a map of Utah based on the number of fossils found there. To make it easy to read, only use four colors. Those colors, however, can be in various shades (ex: light blue, dark blue, sky blue, etc.)

  2. Create two different charts of your choice to display the data. They should be easy to read.

  3. Record the fraction of fossils found in each county. Convert this number to a decimal as well.

  4. Create an infographic that summarizes the most important information from your task. You MUST include the map, at least one chart, the fractions and decimals for the top three counties.
