Talk:Cover Fossil

I realise that the Japanese text can be translated as either Lid or Shell, but surely Shell makes more sense? It is revived into a turtle after all. Werdnae (talk) 21:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it can't translate to "shell" as far as I can tell. ふた refers to something that covers the opening of a container or something similar. I've found no definitions for it that can be interpreted as "shell" (and the term for a shell, as in of a turtle, is こうら anyway), so "lid" is the correct term to use. Beats me why it was named that though. 梅子^❀_✿ 00:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
