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 – really nice specimen. Is Bridge Creek the description of the assemblage rather than the formal name of the member? I looked it up on Macrostrat and it doesn’t seem to be attached to John Day: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/strat_name_concept/7326
Maybe that is better suited for the Field Notes?
Here is a link with potential John Day…[Read more]
Yes, I think you are correct. @mackenzie-smith can confirm since he brought me to the site. Do you know what member we were in?
@jbauer @vperez The floral assemblage is called the Bridge Creek Flora. However, it is part of the Big Basin Member of the John Day Formation. Hope that helps 🙂
Excellent! Thanks @vperez & @mackenzie-smith! If you add in the additional lithostrat info I can mark the specimen as research grade!
Before marking this research grade – we added in a few fields if you @vperez wanted to write anything in there. You can find Collector and Identifier in the Field Notes section!
