I don't think it's a dead turtle. I think it's some kind of photoshop, probably included parts of turtle images, and in turn, a viral marketing thing, as the article and someone else above mentioned. Having said that, however, it is interesting, that information about Plum Island.
Google image search results for "turtle without shell":

Notice it's one appendage giving the middle finger (claw). It's a fake and hell no that is no snapping turtle. Look at the teeth on that thing. Snappers don't have them. |

You people are idiots, thinking this is a turtle. Probably a fake carcass or a photoshopped photo for viral marketing. But you cannot rule out being real--I have a book which lists large Octopi and Komodo Dragons as mythical beasts; in the same book as the Loch Ness Monster (very old book, dated 1963).
Anyway, I call you idiots because obviously you have no idea of the anatomy of a turtle, rather having the intellect a third-grader when it comes to the subject.
Allow me to elaborate. A Turtle's shell is part of the skin. There is no skin underneath the shell. the Ribs and spine are attached to the shell, as seen here:

One of you posted, and I'm going to quote here:
What if someone peeled him out of his shell?
Alright, this is preposterous. If a Turtle's shell were peeled off, its innards would spill out. If a turtle were squeezed hard enough, its shell would smash and its innards would leak out. If a turtle's head were pulled hard enough, either its neck would break, it's head would give way and come off, or you'd just tear the thing apart.
There is no possible way to separate a turtle from its shell without killing it instantly and violently in the process.
One of you agreed:
I gotta agree....a snapper...:)
Snapping Turtles do not have teeth, or or even teeth-like protrusions on their beaks. Their beaks are just very sharp.

Our guess is that it's viral marketing for something."
Um. That's a turtle, without its shell.

Plum Island.....look it up, it is very real.
Not sure about this thing.....since it took forever to load, here is the photo, article doesn't say much....
:LImonsta: Quoting: SHR
Pay attention to the shadows cast around the body...the edges are fuzzy
Now look at the shadow cast by the head...Not fuzzy
Because the sun is a wide light source the shadows cast by sunlight are always fuzzy
Its the little details that give away a good "photoshopper" |

Hasn't anybody beside me flesh out a turtle to eat.
I'd really like to meet the person that can do it and leave flesh anywhere but the belly. |

Not only that, but the head shadow is in a different direction and also different shade from the body shadows. |

Didn't you ever wonder where on earth mankind got the idea of "DEMONS" that are depicted as gargoyles on various cathedrals, buildings, etc.?
Didn't it ever occur to anyone here that these things are REAL. Maybe whipped up by Satan and his band of fallen ones at some of there deepest underground prisons where they are stored awaiting the final judgment of the Most High??
Do you seriously think that if those "things" have been down there for thousands of years, they've sat by idly doing nothing? There's a decent chance that the "greys" as they're known are not from another planet, but rather the fallen ones and/or demonic entities working and living underground right here on dear old tera firma.
Our government may have thought they were making a deal with Aliens and instead they made a deal with the devil himself (or his followers in the person of fallen angels.) Read your scripture and find out what happened to "the fallen ones" and where they are parked until the end of time and the final judgment. It's pretty clear even in Genesis.

I saw that comment, and almost bought it, until I looked at the picture again. The eyes and the apparent SHOULDERS are kind of getting to me. But, yeah, perhaps photoshopped somehow...

Must be from one of the Black Op programs.
They work to Corrupt Gods creation by making these Hybrids of Mammal / Reptile. Just as the Fallen did when they took wives of the daughters of Eve.
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."
In that Antediluvian period, the Fallen and their half breeds walked the earth with Men. |

Do you think that turtles can just take off their shells?

I'm just looking at the sand. I grew up on the beach. I would say the sand around the head. and jaw. would be consistent with how the tide would recede around the head. Ditto for the tail. Photoshop? Could be. Either way it's well done. When is the next public tour of Plum Island? You do know that Plum Island was taken over by the Department of Homeland Security, don't you? |
