    I picked this up years ago at a moving sale in Danville, CA along w/ a mounted Mahi-mahi. This shell is 27" long by 22" wide. I thought it was an olive ridley, but i just checked and it's actually a green sea turtle. it's really beautiful, but i've always felt a little guilty about having a shell that really belongs to a turtle. The only identification i can find on it is an airline bag ticket stub from National Airlines[?].
