A scute is what makes a turtles shell look quilted. About once a year each individual scute sheds, revealing a new one under neath and also leaves a layer on the new one. If you count the layers on a scute then you can tell about how old the turtle is. Example. 2 layers = 2 years old, 10 layers = 10 years old. If the turtle has no layers then the turtle is less than a year old.

How do you tell how old a sea turtle?
There is no way to tell how old a sea turtle is or even how long they live. The best estimate is that they can be up to eighty years old when they die. There are no rings or lines on a turtle shell that increase with age to tell how old the turtle is. A typical sea turtle reaches breeding age around 25-30 (for loggerheads). After a turtle does become an adult, it is anyone's guess how old it is.
