      Hey does this belong to your collection, or is it in a collection elsewhere?

      Hi, @william-biesele, such a cool specimen! Thanks for checking out where it is housed @gloria-carr!
      I updated your field notes to include this: Reposited at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site. Specimen Number SGDS-74.
      The identifier is who identified the specimen rather than the specimen ID number. Does that make sense? We will want to make…[Read more]

    What I used was the scheme on the Wikipedia page for the genus.

    My workbench setup, the second photo shows the sandbag, drawer slides, and circular bearing used to locate the specimen. The cloth used is muslin. The result of this shot is https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/58310/

      Great example of a Repichnia/locomotion trace! @sadie-mills, we should have a way to denote the ichnotaxonomy of trace fossils here! (Perhaps a drop-down bar like “genus/ichnogenus” and “species/ichnospecies”?) That would be more informative than just inputting the ichnogenus Kouphichnium in the traditional genus category.

        @i-edwards great suggestion! @jbauer we should revisit how to document trace fossils in the eMuseum.

        Hi, @i-edwards – excellent suggestion. I did some searching on iDigBio to see how other institutions include trace fossil taxonomy into their databases. It looks like may make it a Phylum – Ichnofossils then include the generic assignment. What are your thoughts on this?

        We can easily change the language to be Genus/Ichnogenus to be more…[Read more]

      Hi, @william-biesele – Instead of including the tracemaker taxonomy we will just include Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Ichnofossils
      and leave the other fields blank, this is how other museums are seemingly doing it so we should follow suit! Then we can include information on the potential trace maker in the Field Notes section. Thank you for already…[Read more]

        Thank you, @sadie-mills and @jbauer for your comments! Unfortunately, classifying ichnossils simply can be so difficult because of the different system it uses! It emphasizes ethology over bauplan because rarely do we exactly know what the producer is (one of the founding principles of ichnology). I think that Kingdon Animalia > Phylum…[Read more]

          Hi, @i-edwards – I have taken a few ichnology courses and appreciate your sentiment but the issue is with the underlying structure of the data – which is a global standard. We can add fields as we like but I’m not sure a separate standard exists for ichnotaxa. I can chat with some colleagues about it at GSA.

          We *do* have a Field Notes section…[Read more]

            Hello @jbauer, thank you for the clarification! It is unfortunate that such an interesting field lacks a comprehensive yet simple specimen classification yet, although perhaps that complexity is what makes it so interesting!

    @jbauer No need to id this, it was to learn how to upload to the site; probably should have deleted it. Thanks for the offer.

    One of the many pleasures of this class was the opportunity to see and photo other’s treasures. Thånks to Dave for sharing this specimen.
