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.

@anne-talbot nice find! I’m going to see if I can find an expert to ID this further so I can mark this research grade!
@mason-hintermeister that would be wonderful!
yeah defenetly sea urchin (echinoid), I’d say conulus but it’s a bit less “tall” so probably offaster
@joseph-midwinter thank you for your help in identifying my find
What a wonderful specimen, @anne-talbot.
Just to share another resource, there is an excellent website through the NHM – https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/data/echinoid-directory/ that gives you a visual way to identify echinoids!
@jbauer thank you for that! As you can tell I’m quite new to this and there is so much I don’t know!
