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, @vperez –
Here is the Wichita Group formation break down: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/strat_name/2707
Archer City looks to be in the Bowie Group: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/strat_name_concept/6522
If you could remember the locality in greater detail we may be able to work this out! To confirm – this is a mouth plate, correct?

Yup, it is a mouth plate. There was debate about whether this site was late Pennsylvanian or early Permian. Unfortunately, I don’t think that has been resolved yet, so I’m going with what I was originally taught. I’ll add this to the field notes. I was asked to keep the locality information private for this site.
Okay all of that is fair. Thanks, Victor. If we mark your specimen research grade – is there the possibility that you would share this locality with someone interested in researching the group? Or that you could at least entertain the discussion? We can add that into the field notes section as well – if it is something you are comfortable with. Thanks, Jen
Yes, I would need to ask permission from the person that brought me to the site, but I don’t think it would be an issue.
Excellent! I’ll go ahead and add that into the Field notes – the specimen is really cool and you have excellent data so it makes sense to at least put it out there – even with the hidden location!
