The turtle is complete and very well-articulated. The fossil has great natural color and very nice detail. The underside shell (plastron) is intact and fully articulated. The turtle is extremely inflated and 3-D, not crushed flat like most fossil turtles. And there is even a leg bone exposed in one of the leg holes. This is a top quality example of a fossilized turtle from South Dakota.
