My sister found me a small sharp brown bone on the missouri banks of the mississipi river.

Turtle shell? hmmmmm..... I dont see it. My friend don said its a pecarry bone or some type of pig. It almost looks like a pork bone. But its not its fossilized!

its hard to tell, the camera is focusing on your hand. Can you take some pictures of it on table with something like a plain white sheet or something behind it so the item gets focused on?

hey, I think Dazza is onto something. I've been peeking back on this and Daz spurred thought.. a little look on images.google.com for Deer Vertebrae and I found this:

This one is of hog vertebrae:
