Phosphatized Tortoise Fossil

This is a tortoise fossil from Hezheng, China.  Unlike the other white coloured tortoise fossils, it's black in colour.  Is it painted or naturally black in colour due to phosphatization?

To me, it seems to me that it is its natural color, But I do not know what the fossils that have that origin are. Perhaps someone more familiar with that provenance can give a more accurate answer.
