Wood Turtle - ARKive
The wood turtle probably derives both its Latin and common names from the deep concentric growth rings and grooves known as annuli that mark the somewhat raised carapacial scutes, which give the shell a sculpted appearance as if carved from wood.

ADW: Wood Turtle - Glyptemys insculpta
Adult wood turtles have a carapace length of 16 to 25 cm (6.3 to 9.8 inches). The brownish to gray-brown carapace has a low central keel, and the scutes usually show well-defined concentric growth annuli, giving the shell a rough, "sculptured" appearance that probably gave the species its specific name (and perhaps its common name as well).
