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.

Spiral ammonite
Greetings @hagob-melkonyan ! To narrow down an ID, we might need some collection data info about where the specimen was obtained and its geological context.
@matthew-gramling This specimen was gifted to me when I was very young(this is what got me into fossil hunting). If I remember correctly this was obtained in Virginia but that’s all I can remember about it
Rude just don’t look at my comment
@aiden-gore I’m so sorry for not responding, what do you mean by spiral ammonite? are you talking about the sprial on the whole of the ammonite or the species of it?
Species
Actually, “spiral” is not a species, but it does mean that this ammonite does not seem to be a heteromorph ammonite. Heteromorph ammonites have their shells twisted in all sorts of weird ways, while this one seems to have a normal spiral shape to it. Anyways, nice specimen!
Oh I was sleepy sorry I meant to say what you said
