1 year, 6 months ago1 year, 6 months agoHi @shelbie-crisp, this looks like bivalve fossils in a limestone. I also looked up the location, and it looks like it came from a Cretaceous deposit. Would you be able to update the Classification field to Kingdom= Animalia, Phylum= Mollusca, Class= Bivalvia? Also, you may be able to update Geochronology to Eon = Phanerozoic, Era=Mesozoic,…[Read more]

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoNo problem, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay! Are you using a mobile device or a desktop? To edit the specimen data, you must be on a desktop computer and navigate to the specimen page, located at this URL: https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/60602/. There, you should be able to edit the blanks on the specimen page. Let me know if you have any further issues!

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoHi, @Diane-Soderman, could you use https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=1.5/x=16/y=23/bedrock/lines/ to learn more about how old this is and what geological units it comes from?

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoHi, @Ryan-Beatty, to fully ID these, I’d need closer up photos of each individual, most likely. eMuseum Specimen entries on myFOSSIL require a singular specimen.

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoHi, @Al-Halt, could you add clearer photos? This could be a trace fossil, but I’m not really leaning towards that. I am thinking this may be an erosional pattern, as @A-Trilobite said.

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoI agree that this looks very similar to a fossiliferous limestone, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay. Do you know what geological unit this was found in? If not, https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=1.5/x=16/y=23/bedrock/lines/ would be very useful! I am not sure, however, if we can keep it in the eMuseum as it is not a singular specimen, but rather a collection…[Read more]

2 years, 9 months ago2 years, 9 months agoThank you, @Matthew-Gramling, I would request the same thing. It is possible that it may be part of a plant, which means that I will not be helpful. I am not sure this is the case, but I will tag in @MacKenzie-Smith just in case.
