Sacha Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Did not do well yesterday with the additional foot of water due to the storm, but found this little osteoderm. I don't think it's tortoise because it hasn't got the perimeter feature at it's base and it has a much more dense outer layer. Has anyone seen something similar before? I have several sloth osteoderms, but this doesn't have a similar texture to those either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think it's definitely a tortoise osteoderm or "spur." Note the dimpled texture of the glyptothere osteoderm, absent in the tortoise spur. 2 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
