Barasingha Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Found in southern VA. It's a little larger than an inch. Is this turtle, some other animal or just a shell? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I can't resolve it as either. I'm afraid you may be trying to photograph it from closer than your camera can focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think this might be geologic. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I agree - most likely a geologic oddity, not a fossil.

abyssunder Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Looks geologic to me, also.

tmaier Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Looks like a highly erroded separtian nodule. The outer rind is melting away. https://www.google.com/search?q=septarian+nodule&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1&tbm=isch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It might also be a fragment of bivalve shell with borings from a sponge, like Cliona. We find similar things in the Cretaceous of NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
