Description

Emphasizing citizens as scientists, the myFOSSIL mobile app helps users engage with the practice of paleontology, connect with others who share their interests, and collaborate on fossil field trips, research, and more. Users follow groups focused around a topic, event, or location. They then connect with group members by sharing photos and updates about their paleontological activities. Group members may include any of the nearly 1,000 amateur and professional paleontologists currently in the myFOSSIL community. Directly from the field, users can upload fossil images to the myFOSSIL gallery to compare and discuss their finds and techniques. By adding in details about location, taxonomy, and geology, these fossil images become scientific records accessible to researchers and educators worldwide. Beyond specimens, users can also document and share paleontological methods, events, collecting sites, and more! Designed to facilitate a visually rich form of social learning, the myFOSSIL mobile app allows users to become part of the larger social paleontology community.

Need work but great app

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the app has a few bugs

Wouldn’t know, it won’t let me register

I’ve tried for hours to get myself registered with an account so I can continue my quest of identifying a huge lot of various sharks teeth and a variety of marine life specimens I’m unable to currently identify for lack of find an app that offers a wider variety of species rather than just focusing on just sharks teeth, fish vertebrae etc. this app looked promising, it’s been to my great dismay that I’m completely unable to create an account in order to make my way around the app itself and form a better opinion. Update, perhaps?

.

We don’t know but we think it is a little good maybe because we looked at all the reviews and they were very good reviews we haven’t tried out your app but yeah but the only thing is that you have to register or login and every single time that we try to login it bails on us.
