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.

hastalis is Carcharodon not Cosmopolitodus
Does this otherwise look good, @Bill-Heim?
I went in and fixed it. The taxons were all wrong. Lee has given me permission to fix any of his postings.
Thank you Bill and Sam for taking care of these errors. In the future I will start with the genus in the taxon wizard and then add the specie epithet, rather then letting the “wizard” fill in the entire taxon. I am still confused as to why it would not let me go back in to change the errors myself.
Hi, @LCone! I would avoid the taxon wizard for this genus + species whenever you can, unfortunately. It looks like someone has incorrectly assigned Carcharodon to Cosmopolitodus in the PBDB, where we source our taxon wizard data from, and it will autocorrect it to that whenever you enter Carcharodon.
