hemi123 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So I took the similar topic of another fossil ID on this site, but wanted to make sure it was the same thing. I found this 30 miles inland off of the East coast of SC, USA where I usually find megs, angustiden teeth as well as hemipristis teeth. But I have only seen similar things pulled out of Peace river in FL. Is this part of a Hesperotestudo?? Or could it be gator.

Miocene_Mason Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I can tell you it isn’t gator, but that’s where my knowledge ends. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have the pronounced pits and grooves I would expected, also it's connected to the other one. I'd say turtle as well, but I'm not too familiar enough to be confident. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuslover340 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It's difficult to tell from the photos, but I would gander it being turtle.

jpc Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I see turtle shell piece in the second photo. The first is too out of focus. Can you take an edge on shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
