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 checked for you. These could be mastodon molars. Mammoth teeth are large with lots of ridges like a washboard.
mastodon!
I am jealous! That is bad ass specimen! ( and definitely died w more teeth intact then. I will!)
Very nice tooth!
@monica-murray looks more like a gomphothere to me (older and rare), but I might consider showing it to a local paleontologist to confirm (it also may have some scientific significance). The Boesseneckers tend more towards whales, but they are a pair of paleontologists in the area I can put you in contact with if you’d like!
@mason-hintermeister Thanks and yes that would be great. I appreciate it very much!
