Stan Simpson Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 This is a fairly large bone fragment. It seems unusual with 2 rounded sides and one flat side. Does anyone have an idea just what animal it may have come from? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Looks like a piece of tortoise shell, from the ancient giant, maybe Geochelone. We get those in Florida, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Mmmm... it looks like the genus Geochelone has been renovated, and many species were moved to other genus. The fossil giant tortoise I'm refering to is now in the genus Hesperotestudo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
