		The row of scutes that run down the middle of the back are the central scutes, and the row on each side of that are the costal scutes.
		Feet are streaked or spotted, a ridge in nostrils, bumps on carapace along spine, young and females have the circular dark markings at rear of carapace.
		Scutes overlap, keeled, brown color, and four costal scutes on each side of carapace.

		The costal scutes have a rectangular outline and are flat with a slight curve.
		The rib is fused to the underside of the costal scute.
		Their costal scutes are readily identified by the very shallow, irregular divots which have no distinct pattern (similar to a golf ball).

	Anatomy and Diseases of the Shells of Turtles and Tortoises
		Scute patterns: Different species of turtles have scutes of different patterns and designs, and there is often individual differences among members of the same species.
		Retained scutes: "Dysecdysis" is the term to describe the condition in which an old scute is retained and not shed properly.
		The shells of turtles with metabolic bone disease are often deformed, with the rear area of the carapace pulled downward, and the marginal scutes pulled upward.

	ETI - Turtles of the World: Turtle anatomy
		The scutes of the plastron are divided into pairs by a median longitudinal seam.
		Anteriorly there is a pair of gular scutes (except that in the family Kinosternidae a single gular is usual); in some families an intergular is also present.
		Inframarginals, a series of small scutes lying between the carapacial marginals and the sides of the adjacent plastral scutes, are present in the families Cheloniidae, Chelydridae, Dermatemydidae, and Platysternidae.

	Stegosaur plates and spikes for looks only, researchers say
		These scutes, about a half-inch across, had an internal structure similar in some aspects to the much larger plates of the stegosaurs, yet were obviously useless in regulating the internal temperature of the animal, Main said.
		The same is true of the later Scelidosaurus, a 13-footer covered with larger scutes with bigger keels; the scutes had the same type of blood vasculature as stegosaur plates and spikes.
		A possible role of the large "pipes" in the scutes of stegosaurs and their ancestors was to carry the large blood supply needed for the fast growth that was thought to be typical of dinosaurs.

		These scutes do not exactly overlay the bony pieces of the shell, but are offset so that the seams between the scutes cover the gaps between the bones (known as sutures).
		femoral scutes overlay the femurs, anals are by the cloaca.
		Pitting or discolouration of the shell is caused by erosion or abscessation of the keratin scutes.

	Feathers, scutes and the origin of birds
		There are smaller scutes on the back of the foot, called scutellae, and scales on the bottom of the digits, called reticulae.
		Analyses by Alan Brush have shown that bird scutes, scuttelae, claw sheathes, beak sheathes, and scales around the eyes are of the same chemical composition as feathers, and are controlled by the same genes.
		If dinosaur scutes developed from feathers then feathers are a primitive characteristic of the dinosauria as a whole, as most of the lineages of dinosaurs had scutes.

	Marsh-Dermal Scutes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		There were evidently at least two or three kinds of scutes, and all of those preserved are essentially quadrilateral in form, the posterior margin being the shortest.
		The exact arrangement of the scutes when in place is difficult to ascertain from the limited number of specimens observed, but a complex pattern was evidently produced by alternate rows of scutes of different shape and size.
		The exposed portion is linguiform, with its longer axis corresponding to that of the scute.

	The Hawksbill Turtle
		The scutes are unusually thick, overlapping at the posterior in most animals.
		Carapacial scutes are often richly patterned with irregularly radiating streaks of brown and fl on an amber background.
		The scutes of the plastron are usually clear yellow, with little or no dark pigmentation.

	Abdominal Scutes in the Round Herrings (Dussumieriidae)
		THE Dussumieriidae are usually distinguished from the Clupeidae or true herrings at familial (or sub-familial) level by their lack of abdominal scutes, although one or two modified pelvic scutes have been described (for example in Etrumeus
