A FOSSIL TORTOISE SHELL, SOUTH DAKOTA
From the White River Formation, Custer County, Oligocene (34-23 million years ago), the specimen of Stylemys sp. preserved in three dimensions, supported on fitted stand.
5 x 5 x 4in. (13 x 13 x 10cm.)
CONDITION REPORT:
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
In very good condition with areas of infill to the restoration, as normally seen with material of this type. Restoration includes a portion of the middle (front to back) section of left half of the upper shell, that wraps around to lower portion, perhaps accounting for a fifth of the specimen.
