The top is called the carapace and the bottom is called the plastron.
The upper part of the shell is the carapace.
A tortoise goes about its life looking after its shell and the battering ram is covered with a shell/roof.
it has a soft shell
it kind of means that Hermes is associated with the tortoise. he used it a shell of a tortoise to create a lyre (an instrument, like a harp) hope this helps..
In 1991 our family had a tortoise and the family dog bit a hole in it's shell. Actually, two. We took the tortoise to a friend who cleaned the holes and applied plaster-of-paris. For years the tortoise had the plaster cast on it, and as the tortoise grew, pieces of the plaster would come off. All these years later, the plaster is completely gone, and the tortoise has a beautiful shell. You can't even tell that it ever had a problem.

Tortoise
To protect the tortoise.
His shell breaks when he has to jump to his home from up in the sky
you draw the tortoise and then rub out its body
The tortoise's shell is their home. The shell has a hard cover and can protect them when something hard hits it. If they do not have the shell, they would have died fast.
It is in the clock and it is the shell of a turtle
Unfortunately, it is a myth that turtles and tortoises can leave or change their shells. The shell is actually a hard, protective covering over the turtle or tortoise's ribs. So if you find an empty tortoise shell that means that that tortoise has died and decomposed.
