I ran out of class time today for all pictures to get uploaded. There will be time in the future that they will be able to do this.

Hey Victor, I had some students upload a bunch of pictures to the database. However, looking at some there are some mistakes or changes that need to be made. Is it possible to put all these in a separate group and in the public database, and then give me the ability to go through and make the corrections?

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. I can think of two possible solutions. You could post comments on students fossils, so they can make the corrections. The other option would require you to get the login info for each of your students and make edits within their accounts.

Also, I see a couple fossils in the gallery that don’t have a ‘featured photo’. If they go into images, there should be a button that says “Feature Image”, which will make the image appear in the fossil gallery list.

Hi, @dellingson – You can update the higher order classification following the PBDB: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=44957

Do you remember what formation this specimen came from? I like to use Macrostrat to figure out the geologic context of different areas: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=11.2/x=-122.8313/y=45.1391/bedrock/lines/

That would be great to create a group. One issue I’m having, is I’m having students put fossils into the database, but they are not showing up when we submit them. There should be about 15, but there are only 2. We will keep trying though.

@vperez can you help with David’s issue adding fossils?
Victor Perez replied 4 years, 1 month ago

Did you make sure they are marked as public rather than private? @dellingson

If there is some kind of error message, you should use the Send Feedback button in the bottom right corner.
