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, @nicole-calderon, very nice foraminifera specimen. Maybe @samantha-ocon could chime in to help check the classification of this lil potato chip and give us any other important information she may have stored in her brain. Talk to you soon, Jen
My theory is that this is actually a Lepidocyclina sp.! They’re really common in the Ocala Limestone and have that distinctive potato chip/sombrero/fried egg shape. This would also make the specimen Eocene in age!
Thanks for tagging me in!
