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, @jkallmeyer, would you be able to add a scale bar to this image? The classification I found on iDigBio is as follows: Phylum Hemichordata, Class Graptolithina (I think it’s a subclass now but it’s okay), Order Graptoloidea, Family Diplograptidae. https://www.idigbio.org/portal/records/4ea852ae-3bb3-4115-ad75-934aa3cdee66

The taxonomy, at least the genus name, came from Rich Fuchs our…[Read more]
Hm, that’s weird that the drag and drop didn’t work. What web browser are you using? Definitely email it to me and I can try for you. I think the generic assignment is correct, was just trying to confirm the higher order classification.
Jen, I am using Chrome. This is the same set-up I used to upload that clam photo right before NAPC. You may recall that the drag and drop did not work for me then either but I was able to copy/paste it. That’s not working for me now. I sent the photo to you via email yesterday so let me know if you didn’t get it.
Hm. Okay, please send a feedback snapshot to Max with a description of what is happening because that is unusual. I did not receive the photo from you. Could you try sending it to my gmail? [email protected] my UFL account has been having some trouble.
@jbauer Well in trying to figure out how to message Max I tried again. It appears there is a sweet spot of where the mouse has to be to make this work. You can’t just click anywhere and to me this is not clear. I tried a new entry and the box says “drag and drop here” so that is clear. On my existing page the box said “upload image” and the…[Read more]
