Graphite

Graphite is one of the 4 allotropes of carbon. The other allotropes are Diamond, the fullerenes also known as "bucky balls" and amorphous carbon (charcoal, coke and carbon black). These allotropes of the same element carbon have very different crystal structures and physical properties. There are 2 types of graphite - natural and synthetic. Natural graphite is black with a sub-metallic lustre, feels greasy and stains the fingers. Graphite is found mainly in Metamorphic Rocks, most frequently in schist and as small crystals in impure marbles in association with other minerals.

Gray Ratsnake

The gray ratsnake (Pantherophis spiloides) is a non-venomous snake native to eastern North America. It is one of the largest snake species in North America. In Canada, the gray ratsnake is only found in southern Ontario, where it is restricted to two disjunct regions. Canadian populations are declining due to a variety of threats, including road mortality, habitat loss and intentional persecution by people. It is classified as a species at risk under Canada’s Species at Risk Act.

Green Frog

The green frog (Lithobates clamitans) is a large frog native to Eastern North America. In Canada, it is found throughout the southeastern part of the country and has additionally been introduced to Newfoundland and British Columbia. So long as a permanent body of water is present, green frogs can sometimes be found in urban environments and are fairly tolerant of human activity. This makes them one of the more frequently encountered frog species in Canada. (See also Frog Species in Canada.)
