Hi everybody,
This is my first post in redearslier.com
Linked below is my report of a RES with a shell deformity. Many individuals exhibit shell scute distortions but this is one of the most "regular" ones I've observed.
Have you seen similar cases?

Very interesting pattern, thanks for sharing. I have not seen that many extra scutes before, though it's not uncommon to see only one or two extra scutes.
