Hi Guys,
Usually I don’t go deep regarding a turtle shell fragment but this is different than most I have found.
Found in the Peace River Formation, Bone Valley Member.
Reading The Fossil Vertebrates of Florida (Hulbert, Jr., 2001) the author mentions that “there are only two genera of thick shelled tortoises in the US (Oligocene to Pleistocene) which are Hesperotestudo and Caudochelys”.
The shell fragment bellow is robust, and weirdly thick compared to the other many fragments I have found in the Peace. Help?
Alex

It seems I need to do research before posting. They are portions of the ribs. Most likely Soft shell Turtle. Any idea on possible Genius?

Hi guys,
Any one know of a turtle with an attitude on the Miocene of Florida? The peace River was to high (covering trees high) so went to creeks close by. Found two of this (photos below represent one) turtle shells, to my surprise they have some nasty spikes. Anyone can help with an ID?
Regards,
Alex

Hi Guys, me again.
Found this bone fragment at the banks of the Peace River North West of Arcadia, FL. Know is not much and probably unidentifiable but wanted to throw it out there and get an opinion.
