Help with ID Peace River


PODIGGER

Recommended Posts

Dug this out of the Peace River yesterday and almost tossed it back when I thought maybe its a claw or hoof core.  Haven't found either in my prior hunts and may well be just falling for a suggestive shape. Looking on line failed to convince me either way so I am asking for help with the ID.  This gave my photographer wife a chance to use her new photo light box. I think they came out pretty good.  The ruler was a bit difficult to position.  The specimen is apporx 3"L x 1.25"W x 1.75"H.  Any input would be appreciated, Thanks.

Could that be a leg spur of a giant land tortoise? I dig the Peace River also as I live in Wauchula.

Thanks for the response Donna.  I have several leg spurs and this is bigger than any I have seen.  The shape of the leg spurs seems quite different to me.
