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.
Data Quality Information Page
Hi there, @ben-brown, this is an interesting find! You provided different angles of the specimen, so that’s awesome, but if you could also provide a scale for reference in each picture that can help the ID process as well.
Sure , Ill post a couple more with a quarter on it to give you a better perspective on size. . The dimensions are 5.25 inches at the widest point if you look at as a thumb by 8.5 inches long and 2 inches at the thickest point and 1.5 inches at its thinnest. My gran-kids call it a giants Thumb. 🙂 I thought it looked like a hip joint .
