    • Epic nummulites fossil!! Thanks for sharing @sameen-zabir. If you wouldn’t mind completing a few steps, I can mark this research grade:

      Take a photograph of the specimen with a scale. A ruler is preferred, but a coin will do in a pinch.
      For the classification column, use the taxon wizard to fill out higher taxonomy. Just put in the most specific identification you feel reasonably confident in, for this one Nummulites (genus)
      For the lithostratigraphy, you can use an online tool called Rockd (they have an app and a website). Just find your location on the map and press on it and it will give you the formation and/or group of bedrock in your area.
      For Geochronology, use Rockd as well labeled as age. You should use the geochronology wizard so it fills out all the boxes. If you are having trouble with this, you can manually put in the eon (Phanerozoic) and era (depends!)
      For location, put the most specific information you feel comfortable sharing, the more specific the better. Most people do it down to town/city (can be the closest one)

      Let me know if you need help with any step and tag me when you are done! Thanks!
      Best,
