tmac Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Can anyone identify any of these pieced. I'm not sure if they are turtle shell fragments, dermal scutes or something else. There's four pieces in the photo - back and front images of a couple. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi tmac! #2 looks like it could be part of an alligator or crocodile osteoderm, and #3 looks like it may be a turtle carapacial element, but I'm far from certain. There are many Floridians here on TFF so I'm sure someone will come by soon to give you more help than me! Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I agree 2 could be softshell turtle or a gator osteoderm but tbh they're very worn and likely hard to positively ID Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishconner10 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 1 and 4 are just bone that's all I can tell and I agree 2 could be turtle shell or gator osteoderm I believe that 3 is a bit of turtle shell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
