Green Sea Turtle
La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.

Produce apotecios en forma de disco con una superficie palida y pruinosa, y contiene compuestos de acido usnico. Su estado Vulnerable refleja la sensibilidad a los cambios de habitat y la contaminacion atmosferica en su area de distribucion restringida.
