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, @david-clark – I think you have a typo, is the species S. nasuta? I found some results searching that rather than S. nasufa. Is the family undergoing revision or does it fit into Calymenidae? I’ve gotten some conflicting results when researching it.

Looks like I did have a typo! The formation has changed from Osgood to Massie, so I’ll change that too. I’m not aware of any revisions and I think it fits into the calymene family. I know calymene in general is in need of a massive revision.

Thank you for getting this updated! If you get a chance to take another photo at some point, adding in a scale would immediate push this to ‘research grade’ so it can be searchable on iDigBio’s data…[Read more]
