NicolaiT13 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hello All, I found this fossil in the Hell Creek formation in Montana. At first I thought it was a turtle but after looking closer I noticed it appeared to have a spine with with a rib cage or some sort of appendeges on each side. I have included a few pictures. Hope I can get an ID on this. Thanks in Advance. Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfarrar Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's a turtle with the shell removed and only remnants of the vertebrae remaining. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 You are probably going to want to do some consolidation to keep it from crumbling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Great specimen -- congrats! A good candidate for FOTM. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
