	Plastron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plastron is the nearly flat part of the shell structure of a tortoise, what one would call the belly, similar in composition to the carapace; with an external layer of horny material divided into plates called scutes and an underlying layer of interlocking bones.
		Turtle plastrons were used by the ancient Chinese in a type of divination called plastromancy.
		A "plastron" is also a thin permanent layer of air around the body of some aquatic insects, held in place by hydrophobic hairs, and acting as a physical gill.

	Plastromancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plastromancy (from plastron + Greek μαντεία, "divination") is a form of pyromantic divination using the plastron, or undershell of a turtle.
		The plastrons were first prepared through the boring of shallow pits partway through the interior (flesh-side) surface.
		During the Shāng dynasty, the date, diviner's name and topic of divination were generally written on the plastron, sometimes along with prognostications.

	Animal Planet :: Reptile Guide :: Turtles, Tortoises & Terrapins
		Parts of a shell: There are two parts to the shell of a turtle: the upper portion is called the "carapace" and the bottom half is called the "plastron." Both shells are actually made of many fused bones.
		The plastron is the fusion of bones including the clavicles (collar bones), bones between the clavicles, and portions of the ribs.
		Some turtles have a moveable joint, usually in the plastron, which acts as a "hinge" and allows the turtle to pull the carapace and plastron together tightly, while the turtle retracts its body into the shell.

		The carapace and plastron are connected on the turtles right and left sides by a bony bridge, which is formed by extensions of the plastron.
		The shell is fashioned from bones originating in the skin, which fuse with one another as well as with the ribs, vertebrae, and parts of the shoulder girdle (Figure 2).
		In species such as box turtles and mud turtles, the plastron is hinged, allowing it to close on the carapace.

	Ron Teeguarden - Tortoise Plastron
		Tortoise plastron is an important tonic, used routinely in "restorative" formulas for people who are experiencing exhaustion.
		It replenishes bodily fluids, and settles unruly wind, which manifests in Yin-deficiency cases as inflammation, pain, cramps, fever, dehydration, insomnia, etc. Due to its Yin nourishing ability and to the fact that it is a cold herb, it is capable of extinguishing false fire conditions anywhere in the body.
		Be sure to obtain the plastron from a reliable herb dealer, since plastron from some species is not very useful.

	Differentiating Male and Female Kinixys spekii (Speck’s hingeback tortoise) - Chris Tabaka DVM
		There is some thought that the females may be more darkly colored and ornate as compared to the dull males but as I have only seen about a dozen specimens, I would not rely on this aspect.
		In this plastron picture, note the absolutely flat plastron in the female near the camera and the concave plastron in the male in the back.
		Again, note the large tail as well as the concavity of the plastron in the male on the left and the short, stubby tail in the female on the right.

		I need to order a plastron and I'm unsure about what size to get in regards to my jacket.
		The American and Santelli jackets are in US sizes (of which I wear a size 44).
		If your jacket is in european sizes, then the size 44 is a US size 34 and you need a smaller plastron.
