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 think you found a dino bone
How do I go about finding out for sure?
Use macrostrat.org and put where you found it in. it will tell you the age of the area, so you can see if dino is a possibility. @mason-hintermeister might be able to help. great find though eleven if not dino, the preservation is fantastic.
@gail-chapman I agree with Corinne though you might want to use the app rockd to look up the age and formation. I think this is actually a mammal bone. I’ll see if I can find any similar types. Nice find!
Mississippian and Pennsylvanian
Look up cannon bone
It is a toe bone of an ungulate
