butchndad Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Pushing my luck with a 2nd request today. This from my huge assortment of “maybes”. 7/8 of an inch. Very triangular piece as I hope is shown in the photos. Bone? Fossil or modern? Of what? And I understand those are likely difficult questions based on a small fragment. Thank you in advance on any help you can give me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Looks Turtle-ish to me. Looks fossily, too.

The Jersey Devil Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah it’s a turtle shell piece “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yup. Fossil turtle shell. Just prepped one just like it yesterday evening...
