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.

Cyanobacteria or scratch marks
there are glacial striations on the rock as this is part of a glacial deposit, but, the rock is fossiliferous limestone
Maybe the thicker ones are crinoid stems?
that was my guess, but it’s hard to tell since it’s not insitu , rather, it’s a glacial deposit
Then they could just be glacial drag marks.
probably
Hi there @shawn-halter, would it be possible to update these images to include a scale by the specimen in question! Likewise, resources like the Mancos app or Macrostrat.com can help you fill out the geologic context! This aids in ID!
Hi Mackenzie, I just uploaded a close up photo. Does this help?
