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 there @a-trilobite could you update the location information for this specimen to aid in ID? Using the Mancos app or macrostrat.org you can also use your location information to determine the lithostratigraphy and geochronology!
@mackenzie-ross-2 found in Northeast Ohio
@a-trilobite For ID purposes, the more detailed the location, the better! Do you have a city, perhaps? And you can go into the fossil itself to edit and add this information!
@mackenzie-ross-2 It was in a Silurian-Devonian era spot where crinoids are common. What’s not common about this one is the size. Could you help to identify the species? Thanks!
l am slightly dubious of its identity as a crinoid. it could be another similar invertebrate
@leonardo-miranda Such as…
l haven’t the faintest idea. just saying that something about it is not 100% right for a crinoid, but l still don’t know what else it could be
@leonardo-miranda new species??? ?
maybe. no way of telling so far without a better expert
