The broken ones are especially interesting because they expose the growth layers of the mollusc, which is helpful when I’m examining fossil bivalves. I suspect that brachiopods may have had similar growth patterns too.

Hi, @jeanette-pirlo ! If you look at this post on the website, you can see the different views. I uploaded the pics via the website, so maybe to show the other pics I need to upload with the app. Anyway, thanks for looking!

1 week, 1 day agoNathan Newell started the topic Question about Author field when adding Specimens in the forum Help Forum
I was wondering how I find out what to put in the Author field when I’m adding a specimen. I have a guess, though. With this entry on FossilWorks:
http://fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=5941
…the title is “†Stereolasma Simpson 1900 (horn coral)”. Does that mean that when I create a specimen, the author should be “Simpson (1900)”? Thanks!

Here’s another one I found at Rattlesnake Creek, FL (Neogene) during the conference. I think @vperez said it was a fish scale, but I was wondering if it’s distinctive enough to say which fish it came from. Thanks! Dimensions: 2.1cm x 1.5cm x 0.6cm

This was collected at Rattlesnake Creek in Florida (Neogene) during the myFOSSIL Imaging Conference. People were finding similar bones that were identified as either porpoise or dugong. I was thinking this might be a phalanx bone of one or the other, but I was wondering if anybody could confirm that. Thanks!Dimensions: 5.0cm x 2.1cm x 1.9cm

Hi Nathan, can you take and upload pictures of the proximal and distal ends. Looks like it could be a chunk of dugong rib (don’t forget your scale bar!)

Hi, @samantha-ocon! Thanks for the link! I also searched through the Neogene Atlas of Ancient Life. From the bivalves shown there, I think Papyridea matches the spacing of the ribs the best:

I would agree with that! If you update the taxonomy, I’d be happy to mark this research grade!

Great! It’s been updated. Thanks!

I’m currently reading Stuffed Animals and Picked Heads: The Culture and Evolution of Natural History Museums. It’s a pretty fun read so far. Natural history museums are my jam so it’s right up my alley. 😁

Done! Thanks for the help! By the way, the Taxon Wizard auto-populated Galeidae into Family instead of Carcharhinidae. Do you think that’s okay?
-
Very few references to Galeidae, Carcharhinidae is far more accepted.

Okay, cool, thanks for clarifying!

Hi, @nathan-newell, this is a beautiful specimen! Have you been able to narrow down the classification? This may help: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displaySearchStrataForm?type=view
