Notes:
Empty shell found sitting on top of a discarded tire, as pictured. Someone obviously put this here, as the tire was filled in with leaf litter, meaning the turtle could not have been stuck inside the tire. As to whether the turtle was alive or not when placed there, I don't know.

Shell kept for my collection.
