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’ve been using Walmart’s HART battery powered rotary tool – for affordability – to get started. I thought it would “limp” me through until I could do better – air stylus, etc. I’m very very happy with the HART. The battery lasts forever and I don’t need to turn the speed up for power – I generally use it on or very nearly on the lowest setting.
