FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

I lean toward bryozoan. tagging @mackenzie-smith for a more knowledgeable id
Thank you! I didn’t know if bryozoan would get that large.
@corinne-daycross and @allen-schoffner The bryozoan genus Sulcoretipora can be found in that formation and gets to be that size. However, bryozoans usually have a regular zooid pattern (the holes/bumps where the polyps live). Because of that, I believe this to be an arthropod leg.
Wow. Very interesting. Most of the marine life I have found in this area is very small. Thank you so much for the information. Now I can look into it further!
