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, @jacob-wall – I’ll tag in our local expert to check out your identification here – @fauve-wilson. Do you have any other views of the fossil? Talk to you soon, Jen
Hi @jacob-wall, I don’t agree that it’s Rhinoptera bonasus. The orientation of the teeth on the dental plate lead me to think that it’s part of the Aetobatus genus. Any idea what species it may be? A photograph of the other side of the plate may be helpful here. -Fauve
Aetobatis, Eagle Ray. Rhinoptera bars are not as angular. Also please use a background that contrasts more (lighter) with the teeth.
