Possible turtle? Not really sure. Florida

I’m not sure what it is but I don’t think it is turtle. Looks man made to me. Can you show a close up of a broken edge?

I do not believe this is turtle. Like Al Dente said, I am not sure what it is either.

It looks like metal to me, like an aluminum or steel alloy. 

Does it have a metal or tin like sound when you tap it against something? Amuninum wouldn’t be magnetic, but is the piece magnetic?

If it were magnetic that does not automatically rule out a fossil though. There are magnetic fossils, but I don’t know that Florida is likely to have fossils of that nature.

I have to admit that when I look at it again it doesn't look like the turtle pieces I recieved from a forum member. Sorry, I should have took a longer look before I shot out an Id.

When I found it I thought it w turtle at first, but something just seemed off, hence why I'm here now. I'll post more pics when I get back, but it did not produce the china-like clink when tapped against other fossilized material. It was more softer, but still tough.

Maybe it's a floor tile or wall tile fragment.

+1 for some kinda man-made whatever. Reminds me of this topic:

 

 

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Huh, now you got me wondering. I've never dealt with relics before, so I had no way to test if it is or not that. If you guys have any suggestions let me know.
