murphy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 This is about 7 inches long, and 3/4 to an inch thick. I found it on a gravel bar on the Trinity River southeast of Dallas. Could it be a piece of turtle shell? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharks of SC Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It certainly does appear to be. Nice find! I'm sure one of our Texas members will offer up an ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Turtle or tortoise would be my answer. Looks like it is probably a piece of the plastron (the bottom part). I don't know if it can be identified any further than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
