   The quartz was “partly present” on top of the big boulder that might be a head stone, almost like “a head on a single stone (head and carapace) turtle.”

Smaller snakes? Maybe, it was not really strikingly apparent with the leaves and all...

Not always milky white:

More possible turtles:

"Back down to a Twisty Gateway"

as a separate post...
