What is in the bag (roughly 60 larger pieces counted from the photos, so the exact number may vary, plus a pile of scutes too many to count):
- 1 large rounded shell section, about 5.61 x 4 x 2 inches, showing the seam lines between the shell plates
- 2 smaller shell fragments, about 2.9 x 2.5 x 1.87 inches
- many flat bone plates and shell fragments, some with the toothed edges
- a few small bones
- a large pile of dark, paper-thin, flaky scutes (the horny keratin plates that cover a turtle shell; scutes are not bone). The largest thin fragment is about 2.28 x 1.06 x 0.1 inches
Features:
- Lot of aged natural turtle shell fragments, believed to be from one turtle (bagged together)
- Species not identified; natural variation in color, wear and condition
- Total weight 12.1 oz; bagged lot about 9 x 6 x 2 inches (zip bag)
- Photos show every piece laid out, a close-up of the scutes, and the bag
- Fragile: the scutes are brittle and will flake and crumble with handling
- One of a kind: you get the bag pictured
