Thank you @Moozillion I had it about 6 year now. Mrs Rico brought it for me one birthday as we both love tortoises. I have found some Turtle shell on the Jurassic costs very long time ago . I will add a picture for you to see.

I'll add some more recent finds. This thread has become a great pictorial resource of finds!

 

Turtle shell fragments from the Palaeocene aged Upnor Formation at Beltinge, England. The rippled shell is Trionyx. Not sure about the other two.

Crocodile tooth from the Upnor Formation (Palaeocene), Beltinge, England. These are rare at this location. Possibly Diplocynodon?

Turtle limb bone, i'm thinking a distal femur. Again from the Upnor Formation of England. 56 million years old.

I was out in some remote badlands yesterday. There was a hoodoo (photo) with an 'explosion' of petrified wood above and dino bone in the light bentonite clay.  Isolated Turtle material is relatively common but I came across a  'turtle graveyard' layer in this same hoodoo.    Perhaps a dozen or so individual turtles.  Partial shell in photo about 20cms across. Also lots of dino bone ...so bone under shell likely dino.

 

Remote locale and hot.  Marked the spot with my GPS and may return some day to put together some turtle jigsaw puzzles.

That is very cool! I’d find it hard to leave. Of course the heat might do the trick if I were running low on water.

I've got this shell fragment from a member of the genus Trionyx. It still has some rib attached to it.

Never seen that before, cool!

Nice! Love me some rooted teeth (don't get those so much in the Peace River).

 

 

Cheers.

Love these! I was wanting to get a croc tooth from that formation, but lucked out on the chance. I obtained a croc snout instead, though :)
