Hi all! I found this specimen recently at a site in NE Mississippi (cretaceous). I kept it because I thought there may be a chance it was a piece of a turtle shell. I say this because one side is flat, and the other has a porous/spongy appearance. Am I on the right track, or do I have a nice rock? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.  Agreed looks like it could be part of a turtle plastron

Thank you!
