Croc Scute / shell ? - Hell Creek formation

Recommended Posts

Trying to finish up labeling of my kids' finds from the summer.

This is one my daughter pulled out of the wall of a dig in the Hell Creek Formation. She had been finding a lot of croc scutes, but this one doesn't have those tell-tale "indentations" - it looks flat/smooth on both sides, but it is about the same size & thickness of her other scute finds (like the one on the right). But is it just a piece of unidentifiable bone?

On the left you have a piece of miscellaneous turtle shell.

 

Great! Thanks. Thought it might have been, but then started second-guessing myself. This will go in her fossil-hunting display! :)
