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.

Greetings @smoran ! Another specimen for your review.
Ur lucky I can’t find crap fossils in KY
Greetings @seth-degenhardt ! I’ve seen some pretty amazing posts from other Kentuckians on here, especially for Carboniferous fossils. I’d suggest checking local fossil forums for sites to go to and getting a geology app like Rockd. That should help hopefully! Roadside exposures can be a good legal place to collect.

This one I’m struggling with @matthew-gramling. I’m just not seeing any diagnostic features in the photos that would allow me to narrow it down. If I were looking at it in person, I could probably hazard a guess, but I think it’s a little too fragmentary to say much of anything from the photos. Sorry about that!
Thank you @smoran ! Understandable and I appreciate the attempt. I have a sneaking suspicion tortoise is involved since the box which contained the specimen had pieces of tortoise shell I’m pretty sure I collected near where I found this specimen.
There are certainly some views that made me think that it is tortoise, but a few others had me leaning towards a mammalian long bone.
