Stan Simpson Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 These 3 fairly large fragments have a similar appearance to one another with curved sides. They all come from a dredge operation near Houston Texas. Can anyone identify the animal they came from? They have a resemblance to a fossil earlier suggested to be an ancient turtle. Thanks to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 It has a bony aspect. It really looks like the piece of Geochelone reclassified in Hesperotestudo @tmaier spoke about. But let's wait for other's opinion. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) "We only well see with the heart, the essential is invisible for the eyes." In memory of Doren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 They look like fragments of a large pelvic bone. Do not look like a turtle to Me. Not a turtle expert though, so wait for others to reply.
