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.

brachiopods
These are some lovely brachiopods, commonly known as lampshells! Interesting find for your area, considering those rocks should be mainly igneous (volcanic rocks, devoid of fossils), though to your north and west there are fossil-bearing rocks from the right age. These rocks are from the Paleozoic era, before the dinosaurs. Nice find!
Very beautiful find
