Nope. Turtles got spines.

The inner layer of bone is fused with the usual bony structures associated with all vertebrates, the

vertebral column and ribs. The vertebrae are particularly interesting for the modifications that have occurred. The vertebrae of the neck and tail are small, allowing for a high degree of flexibility, while the vertebrae of the central portion of the vertebral column are enormously elongated and inflexible, fused with the bony layer of the shell, acting as a support for the carapace.

What would turtles be a predator a prey or a decomposer?

Turtles can be classified primarily as predators and prey, depending on their species and life stage. Many turtles, such as snapping turtles, are predators that feed on aquatic plants, small fish, and invertebrates. Conversely, they can also be prey for larger animals like alligators, birds of prey, and some mammals. While turtles do play a role in the ecosystem by contributing to decomposition through their diets, they are not typically classified as decomposers themselves.
