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.

Hi there! Do you see any teeth or sockets on the fossil? That might help to figure out what it is. Also, do you think you can get a photo of the other side?

Done!

Hmm, I don’t really know what it is. Because it is round and the sides are not smooth I do think it’s a good idea to be skeptical of gar jaw until you can get another opinion.
I agree, even though it is porous it is highly smooth even slippery. Coud osteoderm fit? Any ideas of who might help? I found it next to a bunch of gar sacales.
I just spoke to Dr. Richard Hulbert, our collections manager, and he said it’s unidentifiable.
Thanks MacKenzie appreciate the effort!
