Lovely fossil, @jan-pullum! Do you need any identification help?
yes please 🙂
@vperez worked at the Calvert Marine Museum, so he should be able to help out! And @jnance is a curator there!
ok great!
Nice find. That is a skate dermal scute.
Thank you @jnance John!
Thank you @egardner Eleanor for all your help in getting my fossil identified. I still don’t know how to fill out the rest of the info on it. Maybe I shouldn’t of posted it to the fossil page – sorry. If you want me to remove it until I figure out the rest of the info, I will – just let me know.
Hi @jan-pullum! To get the rest of the info about the fossil, navigate to the “classfication” section. Then, you can fill in the info. You can put in the common name, skate dermal scute, and then fill in the scientific nomeclature you know. I for one don’t know it, so I looked it up on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate_(fish)). If this is incorrect information, perhaps @vperez or @jnance can provide the corect nomenclature! Eleanor also uploaded a video with a tutorial aobut how to input info if that works better for you. The info section bit starts around minute 2. . http://community.myfossil.org/forums/topic/how-to-upload-a-fossil-to-the-fossil-gallery/
Thank you @llundgren!
Hey Jan @jan-pullum, sorry for getting back to you so late but I was a bit busy taking care of my wife and our new born baby boy. I see that my colleagues were able to help you with your nice ray scute. Just another proof how important a functional network can be for our community. Thank you guys for doing such a great job @jnance, @vperez
