Real or fake turtle. Looks weird.
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I saw this turtle fossil on auction today and wondered If its real or not. It looks weird and it was placed in an extra matrix which I only know was used on some pieces from Messel. The turtle is apparently 47 million years old and from western europe and an "Allaeochelys". @oilshale, do you have an idea and opinion on this ? Its 35 cm long and 21 cm wide.- 2 replies

Hi all, I have been having trouble finding a good guide to use in order to ID fossil seashells (mainly gastropods and bivalves) of the Neogene-Quaternary of Western Europe (mainly Belgium/Netherlands). So, I'm turning to you guys: does anyone of you have a nice up-to-date website/online paper that I could use in order to help me ID all of my different seashells? Preferable with clear photos/drawings of the different species. Thanks in advance! Max
