clay Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 In person this is a truly lovely fossil that I found at Cherry Grove, SC 4/5/20. I took 30 pictures and these were the best. My guess is that it is a soft shell turtle double/triple vertebra. Does anyone have a better guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi----Interesting fossil. I'm not sure what you mean by a double/triple vert. The pix are rough but the bottom middle one shows some interesting (maybe soft shell) texture. Try taking pix from further away and cropping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks for the sacrum info! I found it on a site from TN. Its a caudal vertebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a vertebra but it looks like it could be from a turtle. I think its part of the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
