bmorefossil Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I cant really give out to much info right now but on the bottom of a section of turtle shell is a white tough yet flexable piece of something, since it was found in strata I think its fossilized, but I have never seen or heard of anything like this! It had my heart beating real fast when I found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Maybe its Semi-Fossilized?!?!? Let see some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmorefossil Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 hold on let me get the camera, its fairly small there only a few things i can think of, if its a soft shelled turtle it could be some kind of skin, maybe shell im not sure.

Phoenixflood Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I've never heard of it before but I mean shells are made of tougher material, I don't see why if not properly preserved it couldn't remain. I'm baffled The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyquest Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Bemore. Did you try looking at it under a microscope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'll preface this by "saying" that I know little of that Cenozoic stuff, but... the carapace appears to be mineralized, so if it were egg, it should be, too. Probably organic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 That looks more like the membrane that you find inside the egg shell to me. Very interesting! Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
