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, @kait-hardin could you let us know where you found it? That usually helps us narrow in on some potential IDs. It’s pretty hard to say from this image if that’s a fossil or a strangely weathered rock.
I found this near San Marcos, Texas. The rivers water level has been exceptionally low.
Thanks for the info @kait-hardin – it could be a burrow? I don’t think it’s part of a body fossil since the bits that look like it may be fossil-y are the same as the surrounding rock. I can chime in @mackenzie-smith and @jeanette-pirlo who have different expertise than I do!
Looks like rocks NW of San Marcos are Cretaceous and SE are Quaternary. I agree with @jbauer, probably burrow.
Y’all are awesome thank you
