I found this item today at the beach (Edisto Island SC). I have no ruler handy for size. We are camping at the moment.

Some sort of turtle shell. Soft-shell turtle looks really similar but I don't have firsthand experience in that.

Yep, @Thomas.Dodson is correct. Soft shell turtle carapace. The patterns can vary quite a bit ... this one from from Florida has little pockmarks.
