Yes it is normal and healthy for most turtle species like maps and sliders to shed scutes, thin semi transparent plates of shell/ I often find a few scutes at the bottom of my turtle tanks.
I believe a few species like musks don't shed whole scutesin this way What pecies are yours?
If shedding is excessive or the shell shows signs of disease or damage in addition to shedding, just post a photo on this forum or email it to our vet for s medical opinion
