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.

Hi @charlie-smith. This is almost certainly from the unnamed Pleistocene deposits along the Peace and not the older Peace River Fm. In this case, and in the case of other specimens that are definitively Pleistocene from the Peace, you can delete the lithostratigraphy and note that it was from the unnamed Pleistocene gravels of the Peace River. Thanks
Hello @smoran I updated the two fossils you have commented on today. I figured these Pleistocene fossils from the Peace River were derived from a reworked Peace River formation as they were found in the same gravel layer where there are Miocene fossils. However, indicating that this comes from an unnamed Pleistocene gravel layer like you have…[Read more]
Thanks @charlie-smith! Looking at how we record Pleistocene specimens from the Peace at the Florida Museum informed my suggestion here. I think that’s the best way to do it for now.
