Tortoises has a bridge ridge and slight tenting of vertebrals - both support H femoralis. Pics should show side of shell |

Agree with Bill. Specimen could have 11 marginals.
Apparent large size and uniform carapace would also point to femoralis. Appears to be an old individual - possibly female. |
