From a north Florida river, about half an inch thick. Based on the lines from the scute margins that are visible I'm guessing this is a partial Hesperotestudo hyoplastron? -Zach

Hello Fossil Hunters, I haven't been on in awhile and missed the interaction with this group. I recently found an unusual find at a Tampa Bay Beach in Florida. Looking at the shape I immediately thought I had a worn bone fossil vs a seashell cast. The top view of the spur measures 1 3/8" x 1". The base platform which resembles an osteoderm measures 1 1/4"x7/8". I checked my Florida Fossil book and it resembles a Giant Tortoise Leg Spur. What do you think?
