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?
