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, @Delwin-Glasner! I believe the Cane River formation is from the Eocene epoch – also, https://www.fossilshells.nl/ might be useful for a higher ID.
Added Eocene. Thanks
Hi, @Delwin-Glasner! @katie-collins might be able to help you further ID this specimen!
Hi @delwin-glasner, I think your specimen is a Cubitostrea, probably C. lisbonensis. It looks like it’s either very worn or it’s been coated in glue or varnish, which is obscuring some of the nature of the sculpture, but comparing the literature I can find on the fauna of the Cane River formation to your specimen, that would be my best suggestion.
Gary Stringer’s cane river photos look close. Coating is just a water wet shell. Will use your suggestion. Thanks
