Sea urchin spine with unidentified fossil on left.

The unidentified field is used to record stations where a fossil is clearly seen, but cannot be identified by the inventory team. Fossils which can be identified but for which there is no specific field on the form may also be inventoried here with a note. There is no "other" field in the fossils section.

The sea urchin spine seen at the same station in this photo should be inventoried here with a note as there is not a pre-set category for it on the form. The same with the echinoid fossil in the photo below.

Photos should be taken of unidentified fossils whenever possible to be used to help identify it with outside assistance.

Example
