chackney118 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I found this in rural Manatee County (southwest) Florida. It is approx. 6 cm from the tip to base. 3.5 cm wide and 3cm tall. The inside has a groove that appears may be from the upper teeth rubbing against it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yep. It's a spur from Hesperotestudo, the giant tortoise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chackney118 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Is it worth anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Search4 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Not enough to list it on ebay. You could try bundling it together with some things and selling it on the forum. Realistically I'd value mine at $5, but its only worth what someone will pay for it. If you found that in a creek than chances are there is good stuff waiting to be found because tortoise spurs like that are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
