4 months, 3 weeks ago4 months, 3 weeks ago@usf-paleobiology lovely fossil! In order to be marked research grade (and uploaded to the research database), specimens must have geochronology, lithostratigraphy, and location information. That said, you can still use the label and catalog generating abilities of myFOSSIL without anything being marked research grade.

3 years, 11 months ago3 years, 11 months agoHi @usf-paleobiology – the images are of a gastropod – probably Neogene but the information is correct for a Paleozoic brachiopod species.

4 years, 1 month ago4 years, 1 month agoHi, @USF-Paleobiology! I think the ID here might be a bit off – Radiolarians are microscopic plankton that look a bit like rocketships. I suspect this is a gastropod.

Hi, @samantha-ocon! Sorry about that, there was a typo on the newer label but the original collection label was correct. It has been corrected.

Thank you so much!

4 years, 1 month ago4 years, 1 month agoHi @USF-Paleobiology, do you have any other photos of this specimen with a clearer scale bar? Otherwise, it’s looking really good!

Hi @samantha-ocon, a photo with a clear scale bar has been added! Thank you.

Also looks fine! I’m not exactly an expert on the US Neogene, though, so I’m unclear on why the Paleobiology dept of USF need me to double-check their IDs? I’m sure they have better access to comparative specimens and literature than I do.
-
Thank you Katie! This is a very good point and I’ll tag you less with these IDs.

4 years, 1 month ago4 years, 1 month agoHi, @USF-Paleobiology! This looks good to me, but I have an untrained eye, so I will tag in @Katie-Collins-2 to confirm ID.

Looks fine to me. Would it be at all possible to get specimen photos rotated to standard, hinge-at-top orientation before posting? I know it seems like a niggly little thing but it really helps facilitate ID checks and comparisons if I don’t have to twist my neck around trying to look at it the ‘right’ way up!
-
Thank you so much! From now on we will try to upload photos with standard orientation as well.

4 years, 1 month ago4 years, 1 month agoHi, @USF-Paleobiology – I looked up this marine snail, and it appears that the specific epithet is actually rhomboidea. https://neogeneatlas.net/species/fasciolaria-rhomboidea/

4 years, 1 month ago4 years, 1 month agoHi @usf-paleobiology I can’t seem to reply directly to your comment! I would contact Roger Portell to start with, he would be able to tell you who to go to from there. I don’t see any reason you should take the specimen down, but definitely change the taxonomy listed so it doesn’t say Scaphella floridana: this really isn’t a Scaphella! Here’s an…[Read more]
