val horn Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 nice piece of turtle shell. some marine turtles have incomplete shells particularly on the plastron and then have "ribs" connecting the plastron pieces to the outside rim of the shell. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looks like soft shell turtle bone, probably a species of Apalone. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
