Maybe it's what is left of a long ago meal. It could be what's left of a turtle carpace, but it does look like whats left of some critter. Interesting Find!

What you have is a broken Indian pot and not a turtle shell. Also the items I circled are worked items the one on the right is a thumbnail or other wise called a turtel back scraper the other may be a drill? Your in the desert may I ask witch one? HH

PS. That pot looks like it dropped and broke right there try to collect all the pieces you may be some what able to put it back together? I would eyeball that area intensely your going to find more artifacts mister!!!

Well I must retract my thought of it being Indian pottery, either I mist the location found or you added it after?
I still think it's pottery though? HH

Yes, I still think the item on the left in your new pic is pottery, the rock on the right is not worked nor is it the item that I circled in your original pic, those are worked I'd bet money that you could put it back together like a puzzle maybe not in it's entirety but close? I have patience put it in a box and send it to me I'll try putting it together PM Me I will give my address and pay shipping? seriously?

Broken Knee ... you have more patience than I do! Everything in that photo, including the stone, is still in situ. If I'm ever in that area again I'll attempt to find those pieces for you. At the same time, I'm pretty sure that if you succeed the pot would be strikingly carapace-shaped! :-)

(The piece on the right is not rock, nor did I say it is from that photo. It's pottery from a completely different place.)

( The piece on the left, as well as the close-up, are of the material in question.) Why did you post the items in you second pic just to see what I would say? quote from post #6 HH

He wanted to show you what pottery from the area looked like Broken Knee. So you are saying turtle. Are you thinking salt water turtle? Even the alligator snappers we have here the shells do not seem to be multi layered like that. Always enjoy you showing what you are seeing in your travels.

I'm sorry I must be confused in looking between the 2 pics the item in your 2 pic on the left appears to be similar in surface texture to the first image? In looking at your first post image magnified the pattern on those pieces is clearly different from the second pic. In your first image the edges don't appear to have suture lines on the edges? the images I've posted here are fossilized carapace,notice the suture lines tortoise below. This has piqued my interest so looking at all kinds of turtle shells I can not seam to find any that match the surface pattern of the first image you posted? Please, I'm not trying to start an argument. Just trying to learn something here? Thanks HH
