hoffy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) A few months ago Ken @digit, had a post looking for Florida turtle specimens for a Flmnh project. A week later I went to the Peace and found this Apalone softshell. I hoping Ken post requests for a carnivore project next. After the Tampa Club fossil show this guy's new home will be at FLMNH. I also have quite a few vertebrae to prep as soon as I find some time. Edited February 5, 2022 by hoffy 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Looking good. I've found Apalone carapaces relatively intact at Montbrook but only random fragments in the Peace River. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I just love those 3D jigsaw puzzles -- always leave obtuse angles in the course of assembly. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I got to see this donation to the FLMNH this week. It's a really nice looking reconstruction of an Apalone shell. Jason is quite pleased with this new addition. I'd suggest that @hoffy post some images of this to the gallery page of the Fossil Contributions to Paleontology using the guidelines for formatting: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/102935-fossil-contributions-to-paleontology-the-gallery/ Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
