Well...I'm finally gonna start putting a bunch of my finds on here for identification. I appreciate any info and I look forward to what y'all have to say. Everything will be specimens discovered on SE Texas Pleistocene gravel and sand banks. I thought this might be turtle but it's much thicker than the shell fragments I have...some part of a skull?

I confirme it's a turtle neural plate. The "keel" (third picture, ventral view of neural plate) corresponds to the attachment with the neural arch of dorsal vertebrae.

Yep that's turtle. I can't find a resource for which formation it might be from. :shrug:
