It looks like a dead Pig or something, although your probably going to say it is a log or a piece of the bank (mud) that looked like a dead animal....

Chef,
Are you sure about that I.D.? I didn't think we had leatherbacks in this part of the world?

100% sure Mike, talked to a biologist at the fish and wildlife. She knew exactly the one i found. If you look at the pix closely , you can see the pattern of a leatherback, its shell was very soft, tried to flip it over  |

Like all other reptiles, sea turtles' body temperature depends upon their surroundings which explains their migration southward as northern waters cool off in the fall. The leatherback turtle, though, has recently been found to be able to create some body heat, thus making them able to withstand the chilly waters off Canada and Iceland, where they roam in the summer. Sea Turtles are air breathers, but are capable of holding their breath for quite some time. It is thought that they are also able to absorb oxygen from their skin, mouth and their cloaca.
Sea turtles remain in the sea during their entire lives except for adult females who briefly come ashore to nest in the summer months. In the eastern US sea turtles are found mainly along the southern and Mid - Atlantic coasts, Gulf of Mexico and in the Caribbean Sea. During the summer months when the Gulf Stream carries warm water north as far as Canada, sea turtles, with the exception of the hawksbill, roam as far north as Cape Cod near the shore, while the leatherback ranges even further north.

cloaca! Sounds fishy to me?  Could that be used in a sentenced like "blow it out your cloaca"?  |

Yep , dead Leatherback . We see them all the time along the RI south shore. One year there were about 20 of them dead at the same time scattered in the stretch from the Charlestown Breachway to Ninigret Park entrance.

That is why you wanted to make all that sushi now and then freeze it.
