This is one fossil that I didn't find myself. I did, however, "find" it at an antique flea market by my house fo $40. It's unusual to find any fossils at that antique show so I was really surprised to find a turtle. It's big. It took 2 of us to get it in the truck. It's pretty fragile so I treated it with "fossil sauce" to stabilize it. The sauce (Duco Household Cement & acetone) works great to harden soft rocks & fossils. Anyway, the turtle looks like it might have gotten stepped on, perhaps right after it died. The midline of the bottom shell is off a few degrees from the top shell. Still, I was very excited to have gotten this turtle & the price was certainly right. It is now on my fireplace hearth where it looks great!
