Definitely a turtle!

You may want to compare with the native freshwater slider species too: Trachemys decorata and Trachemys stejnegeri vicina

Size wise it might match those species better than sea turtles...

The Chelonian Research Institute may have comparatives: http://chelonianri.org

Take care,

Hello,

I am a masters student currently working on a faunal assemblage from the Dominican Republic. I have stumbled across a peculiarly triangular shaped bone and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify it? I am thinking it may be from a sea turtle but unfortunately I do not have a reference specimen to compare it to.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!
