Can the pattern of a turtle ever change?

As a shell grows, the number of scutes generally does not change, but their size does. In some turtles, old scutes are shed and replaced by larger, new ones. In other species, including box turtles, tortoises, and wood turtles, scutes enlarge in diameter as new keratin is laid down. The "growth rings" in scutes have been used be some experts to help determine the age of a turtle. Age estimation based on growth layers, however, can be erroneous for several reasons:
