Described soft shell turtles in the lance formation
Fossil Collect posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello, does anyone know some of the described soft shell turtles from the Lance Formation? Or a paper of some of the turtles. I am interested in a soft shell turtle from the Lance so any help is appreciated. Thanks.- 2 replies

Hi Everyone. Found this pretty thick piece today in the surf - southern NC beach. Most of the soft shell turtle pieces I’ve found are much thinner - this is at least 1.2cm or .5” thick in the middle and then tapering to the sides…. Do you believe this is a soft shell turtle fragment?

New Jersey Cretaceous after the storms (Mosasaur heavy)
frankh8147 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello everyone! I was able to sneak out to one of my favorite NJ Cretaceous spots following the storms and had a really nice trip in a short period of time so I figured I would share! The turtle shell is soft-shelled so that actually probably my rarest find of the day. I also found one and a half Mosasaur teeth. The one in the separate picture is the thinnest one I ever found (out of 60+ Mosasaur teeth) but it checks all the other boxes for Mosasaur so that's what I have it labeled as. The vert is pretty cool because it still has some processes attached. Add in the Ratfish and the Enchodus jaw section and I'll call it a good trip!- 18 replies
