Hi guys. I have discovered new geography anomaly in The Veils sector. It's iron magma. How can I submit it to Codex? May I scan it in some way, to automatically submit?
Submit new geography anomaly to Codex.

I dunno mate. You target the anomaly such as geyser and then scan it, but nothing seems to happen after that
I dunno how to scan object like geyser. It appears in contact list like "geology POI (1)" and I can't do anything with this marker. I can land nearby, and explore every geyser, but i can't scan it.
You should see some names on contacts page. Target one and scan it with composition scanner.
Hi there!
In order to scan objects for the Codex, you will need to use the Composition Scanner - this was a new scanner that's now built into every ship and SRV. If you check your Fire Groups, you will see it listed there - take a moment to assign it to a fire button.
Two things about the Composition Scanner:
1) The Scanner will only scan objects in Line of Sight - you cannot "target" a geological formation like you can a rock or crystal structure. This means lining up your ship or SRV with the object you want to scan; good news is that, in the SRV, you can still access the Composition Scanner from your turret! When you're lined up and in range (at least 50 m away but some people are reporting a greater range), the scanner reticule will glow and you'll get a "Ready to Scan" message on your hud. Then hold down the fire button assigned to the scanner until the scan is complete and watch for the little message in your upper right hand window that will tell you what you just scanned and what reward (if any) you get.
2) You MUST be in Analysis Mode to use the Composition Scanner. Thus, you cannot fire the turret gun and scan the formation at the same time.
Hope this helps. Happy scanning!

Thank you, guys! It helps! I've discovered 14 new geology objects, mostly in The Veils Sector.
Of course. I've discovered 14 different types of geology anomalies.
