Mango Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Took the whole family on the Peace River this weekend. Zolfo Springs area. My mom found this piece. After perusing all of our reference books, she came up with tortoise toe bone. Is she close? Thank you. Pentax Optio W60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cris Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I would say she is correct on the tortoise ID, but I don't think it's a toe.... I'd have to guess a leg spur or scute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have extras of these spurs and spikes from tortoises and glyptotheres. You can own a few for your comparative collection for five dollars each, or three for thirteen dollars, post-paid. Just PM me. 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...
