Razor turtles are egg turtles, but they are larger than other egg turtles. As adults, their carapaces can be up to 17 centimeters long. Unlike other egg turtles, their carapace has a protruding spine that runs all the way through the front and back. Seen from behind, their carapace is triangular, and no vertebrae can be seen from both sides, which seems to be a slope. The color of the razor turtle's carapace is mostly orange or brown, and there are obvious spots or radial stripes on each carapace.
