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, @brent-wilson, Very cool specimen, what was your photography set up for this? What does the scale bar represent in the images? I think Holocene should not be represented twice but rather just in the Epoch field. Is this a modern specimen. @samantha-ocon, want to check it out?
By definition a fossil must be at least 10,000 years old. Now in theory, a Holocene specimen could be a fossil if it was between 10,000 and 11,700 years old, but that is cutting it pretty thin.
