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.

A beautifully preserved trilobite eye is evident in the second picture. It is the schizochroal type of eye, which means it belonged to a trilobite in the order Phacopida. You can see the glabella as well. Further preparation might reveal the rest of the head, and who knows how much more of the trilobite. Really nice specimen.
@patrick-hsieh thank you!!!!
this is, as far as l can tell, a big smorgasbord of crinoid stems, brachiopods, and a trilobite too. epic find!
