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’m really interested in the formation does anyone know what this is?
In Russia, similar finds date back to the Carboniferous period (Pennsylvanian, Moscovian). The beginning is 315 million years ago, and the end is 307 million years ago. This is coral, compare with my findings: https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/145696/
@johanna-followill it is definitely Ordovician (Nashville Group) but the geologic map has two formations in the area: Bigby-Cannon Limestone and Hermitage Formation. The former is on top of the latter and I believe more thickly bedded.
