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 @beau-mcdaniel. Can you add more information for this specimen so we can help you ID it? We’ll need to know the site the specimen was collected from and any geological contextual data you might have. We’ll also need another photo with some kind of consistent scale (a scalebar is ideal, but a coin could also work).
Thanks @beau-mcdaniel! I think the only data that need to be changed are in Geochronology. If you add Phanerozoic Eon, Mesozoic Era, Cretaceous Period, Late Cretaceous Epoch, we can get this marked as research grade. Beautiful specimen!
