facehugger Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 So found this recently - any educated guesses on what it is? I have found similar material, and IDs seems to range from fish bone chunks to turtle shell. This came from North Sulphur River near Ladonia, and is believed to be late Cretaceous. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and Happy New Year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is off topic but that is amazing how you brighten those pcitures. If I may ask, how are you able to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bones Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 It is a simple thing to do in Photoshop as wells some other photo editing apps. The application has a built in setting to use to automatically brighten and or increase contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPayton Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I would agree that its definitely turtle, and by the looks of that raised protrusion in the first picture probably part of the costal bone. Compare with this photo I stole from @JarrodB's excellent photo album of finds from the North Sulphur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
