BIGUN 1,053 #3 May 20, 2016 Having made my fair share of turtle soup in the turtle's shell; it's about impossible for a turtle to "lose" its shell. But, it can be removed. QuoteThe carapace is the dorsal (back), convex part of the shell structure of a turtle, consisting of the animal's ossified ribs fused with the dermal bone. The spine and expanded ribs are fused through ossification to dermal plates beneath the skin to form a hard shell.
