SKU: SS-120-TITANOCHELON-BOLIVARI Category: Tags: , , , ,

A giant land tortoise with a shell approaching two metres, native to Miocene Iberia rather than to islands — a reminder that gigantism in tortoises was once a continental phenomenon. The carapace texture and growth rings are worked scute by scute.

About this piece
