Harry Pristis Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's a giant armadillo (Holmesina sp.) osteoderm, not a scute which is a keratinous layer over the osteoderm. Scutes don't preserve as fossils. 4 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
