Giant 13 x 10 Inch Colorful Fossil Turtle. From the White River Badlands of Wyoming, this famous turtle (Stylemys nebraseensis) is more than 25 million years old and is virtually complete, missing only a 1½ x 1 inch piece of shell, and with a complete plastron (the underside of the turtle). What makes it so desirable is both its large size (normally found only 6-9 inches) and its attrractive, light brown color, instead of the usual white color that blends with the matrix. This turtle looks as if it is ready to pop its head out and crawl away. A fantastic, museum-quality specimen. For domestic shipping, add $35.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,200.

 
Realized $690
