Found this last Friday on the North Sulphur River. Was thinking possible turtle fossil of some type but haven't really been able to confirm this.

Hi all! I found this specimen recently at a site in NE Mississippi (cretaceous). I kept it because I thought there may be a chance it was a piece of a turtle shell. I say this because one side is flat, and the other has a porous/spongy appearance. Am I on the right track, or do I have a nice rock? Thanks!

Can anyone identify any of these pieced. I'm not sure if they are turtle shell fragments, dermal scutes or something else. There's four pieces in the photo - back and front images of a couple. Thanks in advance.

Hi this fossil was given to me and I think it was found on the jurassic coast uk. I have been told it is part of a turtle , crocodile skin or part of fish brest plate. So I would like to throw it out there and see what comes back. It does have a fold shape to it , like skin? Thanks for your time in reading this post Bobby

Was on the Peace River Florida- am sorting the findings had several flat pieces I think are mostly turtle scutes-but I'm not sure about a couple, and wouldn't mind more specific information on any image 1 shows the top of 8 scutes/flat pieces except it shows the underside of specimen 3. Image two is the reverse of specimen 3 I can make higher resolution or other views as needed.

Long 10 mile hike at NSR and some meager finds. The weather was beautiful so I didn't mind. I found lots of Pleistocene tooth enamel. This particular area of NSR I seem to find more Pleistocene material and points than Cretaceous material.

North Sulphur River Texas was pretty picked over but I managed to find a nice variety. I found Mosasaur, Cretaceous Turtle, Ammonite, Enchodus / Shark Teeth, Ice Age Tooth, Rudists, Mastodon Tooth Enamel and one artifact in the creek. NSR needs a good rain.

Hello: I am going through my collection of fossils when I was a kid over 30 years ago and it seems that I either forgot what these are or they were mislabeled. So any help is appreciated. Most of these fossils that I will post are either from the beaches of North Carolina or of some fossils quarries, like Aurora Phosphate mine, Castle Hayne, etc. I appreciate it! David

The scratches are filled with the native shale and the bone is raised along edges of some of the scratches indicating it happened when the bone was fresh. -

Found in the Peace River. Broadest part measures 3 1/2". Found some other large pieces but also found a lot of LARGE (Big Boy) turtle pieces. Will post in another post. Thanks. SO GLAD to be back in the river. Cold but definitely doable in swimsuit - and I am a Floridian that walks around with a jacket at 70 degrees!

Hello. I found this turtle mold a couple of years ago during road construction. According to geological maps, I was in Lower Cretaceous, Albian. This came out of the overburden however, so age may be incorrect. Just wondering if anyone could provide me with any information. Also wondering about image 4. Could this be skin impressions? Thank you. D.
