Hello!! Just wanted to share with the forum some of my fossils and bones that I do not need identified but would love thoughts on nonetheless. The elephant bone is of a four tusker- the upper part of the tibia, and completely mineralized, and very heavy. It is anywhere from 13-15 myo. The tortoise shell frags include the lip of the shell, as well as a nice slab of the plastron- found separately, but in the same creek. Tortoises were in Nebraska 8-15 mya. The horse tibia has been identified as either the tibia of the small three-toed horse Pseudhipparion, or the one toed horse Protohippus. All of these were found in Nebraska in a creek that runs through the Valentine and Ash Hollow Formations, both Miocene exposures. Let me know your thoughts!!

Collected this about a week ago on a gravel bar in a local river near Houston that is mostly late Pleistocene material. I've labeled it Hespertestudo crassiscutata based on the size. Can someone confirm this is the left epiplastron? Thanks, Darrow
