    No 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!

    Hi, @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?

    Hi, @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.

    Hi, @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.

    I 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]

    This one is stumping me, so I will tag in @jbauer.

    Hi, @MacKenzie-Smith, I see what you mean; I just had a hard time with the scale.

    Thank you so much, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay! Could you update the specimen information? If you are unsure how to do this, let me know.

    Hi, @Paula-Hunt, I believe this is also a rock made of chert. Very cool find!

    Hi @Paula-Hunt, I believe this is a chert or a sandstone and not a fossil.

    Thank 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.

    Hi, @drsukhendu-mukhopadhyay, could you post more photos of this specimen? These do look somewhat like intersected bivalves but it could also be a non-biotic rock.

    Hi, @jacob-beasecker and @Vperez, I am sorry for being unclear here. I will attach some resources for you, Jacob, that may help with identification. http://michiganbasinfossils.org/ might be useful for comparisons, https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/learn/cnidaria/anthozoa/rugosa/ will have some comparative specimens, as well as anatomical…[Read more]

    Hi, @neven-popov-2, this looks like Rugose coral, but the photo isn’t very clear. Could you add a clearer, more close-up photo?

    Hi @Jacob-Beasecker, this appears to be horn coral. Could you update the taxonomy?
