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.

@lmccall or @lcone do either of you recognize this shell found in SC?
@brent-hawkins – could it be of the genus Arcinella? Check out this link: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/arcinella-cornuta/
The images show large spines coming off but it’s possible your specimen is a bit more worn. If you could upload another image showing the inside of the shell we can possibly confirm my idea!
Talk to you soon, Jen
my shell is complete with the bottom attached like a clam. If you look at the second picture it shows a front view of it smiling at you. Its funny that i even found it because it looked like a white clay ball and i stepped on it. Most of the fossils in my creek are on top of the clay layer. I dug too deep that day.
