21.4" Fossil Tortoise (Stylemys) - South Dakota
Artober Day 23. Stylemys again, but this time a skull.
Check out this beautiful Stylemys fossil tortoise we found on our fossil-hunting trip back in June! It was beautifully and expertly prepared by White River Preparium's Sandy and Ed Gerken.
Muffin was pleased to pose on top of her ancient cousin. In 35 million years, they haven't changed much!
