No no Maggie. You keep doing it. Your good at it. It's Ridley for sure. There's no way to really scale the size from the photo. So if it's big it's an olive, it's its wee it's a kemp. Wonder if the OP will come back on and tell us how big it was and where it was. Those are good things to know too. Where it was mainly.Looks like an olive Ridley. Kemps are rather small, and have a slough off at their 4-5 vertebral and get real flat. I'd say it's a male given it's size. Also depends where your at. So where would you be located at?
I have decided that's the last ID I'm going to attempt. I am seriously no good at it...I couldn't even ID a box turtle... but I sure saw some beautiful photography researching this sea turtle...I said it was a Kemp, because it was so small.
