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.

Hey @jacob-beasecker, I’m wondering if this specimen could be from the genus Heliophyllum? It seems fairly similar to the 3D model on the Digital Atlas of Life https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/learn/cnidaria/anthozoa/rugosa/ @jbauer any ideas on this one?
Hi @vperez and @jacob-beasecker – I agree more with Jacob’s identification of Cayugaea. It is difficult to tell with a weathered corallite. Jacob do you have a copy of the Strata and Megafossils of the Middle Devonian Silica Formation? It was recently (last 6 ish years) reprinted with really nice images. Talk soon, Jen
Hi @jbauer, I do not have a copy but I will look into it thank you for the recommendation.
