Wings Of The Rainforest

Huge edge of carapace [top shell] from extinct giant Florida tortoise [Geochelone spp.] found in Peace River 1992. This is also from site 7a [I have a few other fossils from this same site, probably from the same individual...] This particular specimen was found up high in the roots of a tree on the river bank, thus the lighter coloration due to leeching [losing the minerals...]

Very Large example, hard to find today!
