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.
Data Quality Information Page
@aktan-orhan this appears to be a perissodactyl upper molar, and given the area you found it probably late miocene in age. Would you like me to send these photos to a scientist to learn more?
P.S. Persiatherium in an advanced state of wear might look like this, though I’m no expert on perissodactyl teeth (I stick with sharks and primates!)
ty for comments. feel free to share photos.
Officially consider me totally green with envy. Congratulations to a special specimen.
