'Kem Kem Vertebra Process': What Type of Dinosaur - if it's Authentic?

[JamieC7696]

Dear Forum,

 

 

I bought the following 'fossil' - labelled 'Kem Kem Vertebra Process'. I was wondering whether anyone could identify for me to what type of dinosaur it once belonged (i.e. sauropod, theropod... the more detailed the better!)?

 

 

Best Regards

It's authentic and is a part of a turtle carpace.

Yes, what Haravex said. Part of a turtle shell.

Hi everyone,

 

 

Sorry for the late reply - I've been unfortunately preoccupied with an injured arm (I do much of all sorts of training!)... Meanwhile, these answers came as an interesting surprise to me: being all but none the wiser about the pertinent ecosystem (aside from its most obvious dinosaur residents...), I wasn't aware that it could belong to a turtle contemporary of Spinosaurus! Yet, one look at similar shells over the internet - in spite of my own lack of expertise - does confirm to me that this assertion is absolutely correct.

 

I offer, also, my apologies for the minor rules breach. 

 

 

Best Regards
