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.

This seems to be a well worn nodule of some kind. Sometimes if you cut it break them open you may find a small fossil in there. One of my nodules has a beautiful set of rings right through the nodule.
Thanks for the thoughts!! I reversed image searched and it seems like it might he a hamburger sea bean.. which is a seed from an amazon plant. Apparently not a fossil at all.
Now that is one interesting find. I have a box of things that are not fossils but sometimes they do look like it. I use it to teach differences. I hope you keep it. Im going to look it up immediately.
I looked the bean up and learnt quite about them. Thank you.
