Tech/Engineering - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Turtles
French term or phrase: Plaques cornées
On note l’extrême réduction de l’ossature de la carapace et un développement d’une pseudo-carapace composée d’une mosaïque de milliers de petits nodules osseux polygonaux. Généralement de grande taille, les griffes et *plaques cornées* sont absentes. Le crâne est sans os nasal.

This is about leatherback sea turtles.
