Florida Turtle Shell Fragment

About Florida Turtle Shell Fragment
The Florida Turtle Shell Fragment is a reptile fossil dating to the Cretaceous-Pleistocene. Turtle Shell Fragment is a realistic Florida fossil profile built around scute or shell plate from freshwater or marine turtles. In this state, success usually comes from learning phosphate pits, shell hash beaches, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, Florida Turtle Shell Fragment fossils from the Cretaceous-Pleistocene are found across Florida. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
