tracer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 unfortunately, edd, there are a lot of fossils that aren't large or complete enough to positively identify as to species. although i'm no turtle expert, the thickness of the piece you have could indicate that it possibly came from a giant land tortoise of the geochelone persuasion, rather than a turtle. whatever it was, it was large.

It must the reptile shell.But the shell detail between turtle and croc is very close. Dinosaur Fossil Lab http://www.fossilshk.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
