Thought I'd share a few photos of a tortoise prep I just completed. This is from the white river group of Chadron, NE (circa 33 mya). Here is a series of photos from discovery to excavation to restoration and preparation.
The discovery: broken shell (As usual, I forgot to take a true "before photo". I've already probed a bit here).
After some digging, it was discovered that this individual is upside-down. Here, the plastron is being revealed.
