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, @Dmitry-Borodin! If you would like to improve this specimen, we can work together on it. For example, we would need to figure out how old this is and identify it a little further.
Hi, @samantha-ocon ! Found in Cretaceous nodules of the Republic of Adygea
Perfect! Can you fill that out in the specimen entry under geochronology? I cannot enter this information.
Thank you, @Dmitry-Borodin. @JBauer might be able to help us with ID.
Hi, @samantha-ocon & @dmitry-borodin – Sadly, my Mesozoic brachiopod knowledge is pretty lacking. I can certainly say you can update the taxonomy to be Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Brachiopoda > Class Rhynchonellata.
@samantha-ocon , @jbauer . Thank you for your help in defining it!
Thank you so much for being so responsive, @Dmitry-Borodin. My next advice on making this specimen more useful for researchers is adding more photos from different angles, with a scale.
Holy crap I believe I found something almost identical to that in South Dakota!
According to you tube videos I have also found tons of Stone Age tools. Stay tuned!
