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
Hi, @eliana-r – are you asking where the kit is from? It looks the the fossils have detailed information with them.
Lol! That’s what I meant 🤦🏻♀️Thank you for catching that. But yes a fossil book teaching kit or maybe a examples for a class?
It looks different from kits I have seen before, these are boxed really well. Usually samples from Wards (educational company) are in mediocre containers. Did you find them at a garage sale or something? It’s possible they were part of an educational or personal collection.
A friend of mine who worked cleaning out estates for the city gave me a box of old cool stuff. That’s one of the cool things!
You can certainly use them to teach. They remind me of fossils you can buy to start a collection.
@eliana-r that is so cool!! It looks like you have some very well documented specimens.
The labels look like they came from a fossil company that used to sell mail order in the late 1960’s. I can’t remember the name of the company, but they did have pretty good data on their specimens. I want to say they we out of Texas, but I could be mistaken.
