Time Period: Pennsylvanian Location: Missouri Formation: Most likely Winterset limestone Hello! I am currently puzzled on weather or not this is a Conodont or some fragments from Brachiopod. I am thinking it could be broken parts of a shell or broken pieces of a Brachiopods fossilized lophophore supports from a very small specimen! I have not found any conodont specimens from this location yet as I usually do not hunt for them Images in natural file size: https://imgur.com/a/KNeqtZn

Guys I want to propose an identification on the shell fragment below based on some research for which criticism is more than welcomed. Found in Hardee Co., Florida Peace River Formation, Bone Valley Member. First there are only two genera of thick shelled tortoises in the US (Oligocene to Pleistocene) which are Hesperotestudo and Caudochelys (Hulbert, Jr., 2001). The largest and one with thicker shell being Caudochelys crassiscutata. This species is known for having a very thick hypoplastron. The shell fragment bellow is robust, and weirdly thick compared to the other many fragments I have found in the Peace. So... Judgement time!
