It's definately different! I'm thinking it MIGHT be an old dinosaur fossil but I'd be willing to bet it's from something more recent. The DNR could tell you.

Depending where on Lake Michigan you are, taking it to a natural history museum might ID it
I agree a natural history museum or quit possibly the University of Michigan or Michigan State. Maybe they can identify it.

That’s a good idea I think I will pursue that I would really like to know where it came from.

Well it was stated and it certainly was a turtle. I learned that the vertebrae are attached permanently to the shell something I never knew. Not exactly flexible.

Thanks so much for letting us know 🙂
I was so hopeful that you would have become rich and famous for discovering the flipper of some extinct dinosaur.
You might keep it for conversation purposes. If it were me I would.
Thanks again 👍

Good deal Cannondel. Used to live Up North in Atlanta myself. Retired down here in Alabama and it's been too hot to go outside let alone go fishing.
