Fossildude19 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything readily recognizable as a fossil in the first picture. The last item does look like a nice crab - maybe @MB can have a look at it.

I can sort of see it now, though, that you have pointed it out. Do you already have ID's for these items?

Nice pieces either way. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

abyssunder Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Well, it will be some time till the turtle will be prepped to see it properly. Btw, where was it found? Miocene sediments or younger? Also it could be a tortoise, like Testudo/Testudo cubensis or relatives. It will be interesting to find out. Meantime, here is nice document to read : Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward). 1950. Testudo cubensis and the evolution of western hemisphere tortoises. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 95, article 1. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
