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.

I find a lot of cetacean vertebrae and most have the processes shorn like this one, but I really liked this sample as a teaching tool because of the accompanying cookie.
Definitely a great teaching tool! Since this came from the spoil pile, are you confident that came from the Pungo River Formation or could it be from the Yorktown Formation? Just want to confirm before I mark it as research grade.
I don’t usually like to say with certainty, but I found ecphora in this pile so I’m going with Miocene.
