Hello all,
The MN DNR is working on a small turtle booklet (hopefully waterproof) that will be given to our fisheries staff as well as others to help with MN turtle ID. We cannot pay for photos but I can certainly send out a gratis copy to those with photos that we use. Photos will be credited. Below is a list of photos / shots needed:
UPDATED - April 15th, 2014
1) Posed / profile shot of a southern (Ouachita) map turtle
2) Top down carapace of southern (Ouachita) map turtle
3) Southern (Ouachita) map turtle plastron
4) False map turtle profile / posed shot
5) False map turtle carapace
6) False map turtle in hand (larger individual ideally)
7) Smooth softshell (posed)
8) Smooth softshell carapace
9) Smooth softshell plastron
10) Smooth softshel in hand
Photos can be e-mail to: Christopher.E.Smith AT state.mn.us (please include the preferred spelling of your name for the photos credit).
Thanks all!
Chris

Chris, I've also given you my Flickr set on Turtles. I'm pretty sure I have decent up close pics of a smooth softshell I need to dig out.

Stinkpot photos sent (in hand, plastron, etc.) I have a red-eared slider plastron shot if you don't have one yet.

Here's an A. spinifera. He wasn't really "posed", that's just how he was sitting.
