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.

Can’t Zoom in but you’ve got a SPECTACULAR specimen! ENVY!
love it
Thanks
a colony of coral
no way of telling what type without being able to zoom in and knowing the age of the the rocks it came from, but an absolutely great specimen
Is there anything I can do to aid in zooming? Thanks
honestly I’m only a geology college student, I don’t want to say something that might be wrong. but what I would do is Google “geology map of ‘where you found it'” then whatever rock type it is look at the years it would have been deposited then google what corals where present at that time
from there it shouldn’t be hard to sus out what one it is, sorry can’t be of much more help
Will do
“Only a geology college student,” should be said with pride.
For zooming in, you could screen shot in high resolution and zoom into the screenshot. Cool find!
Get the “Rockd” app to research the geology of the location
really nice
@steve-caldwell thanks, hope that it has helped
Such good help! Thanks A retired 45 year college dean raising cows on a hilly farm in middle TN
