+### Identification 
+
+Use this block when you are entering a single identification with a single Identifying Agent. If you want to enter more than one identification for a single catalog record or a single identification with multiple Identifying Agents, use ["Extras Identification"](#"Extras"_Identification).
+
+* Scientific Name is the identification to be applied to the cataloged item. Type in all or part of the cataloged item’s identification and use the Tab key to select a taxon name, or use the "build" button to create a complex identification.
+* Identifying Agent is the Arctos Agent that determined the identification. Type in all or part of the Agent’s name and use the Tab key to select an Agent.
+* Nature of ID is selected from a [code table](https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctnature_of_id).
+* ID Date is the date the Agent assigned the identification. If this is not known, leave it blank.
+* ID Remark can be used to add information about the identification, including a verbatim determiner if the Identifying Agent is not found in Arctos Agents.
+
+### "Extras" Identification
+
+This section allows you to add up to 3 identifications to a catalog record at once and to include up to 6 Identifying Agents for each Identification. The fields are the same as those discussed in ["Extras Identification"](#Identification).

 **Agents**
 * “Collector” should be the agent’s name. Fill in the name, hit Tab and you will see a popup; you may have to select the collector if there’s more than one choice.
 * **Neat Tip:** Click “Copy2All” next to the field you entered the collector’s name into and Arctos will automatically assign that name to all the required fields on the current data sheet.
