Fossil turtle shell or just old

Found a lot of stuff on the Arkansas River today. I found a small piece of the underbelly of a turtle a while ago now I have found a much larger piece. Wondering if its just old or really old.

Looks like softshell to me, no idea on age. Note I live and hunt in Fl. but it sure looks like softshell. Are there currently softshells living there today?

In the river yes but they are small

Then it is likely older softshell, at least from a time they grew larger.

Looks modern to me, but yes, definitely soft shell.

Yeah might be modern
