Scientists recognize seven living species of sea turtles, which are grouped into six genera. Each sea turtle has both a scientific name and a common name. The scientific name identifies the genus and species, and the common name typically describes some characteristic of the turtle's body.
Loggerhead - Caretta caretta
Green turtle - Chelonia mydas
Leatherback - Dermochelys coriacia
Hawksbill - Eretmochelys imbricata
Kemp's ridley - Lepidochelys kempii
Olive ridley - Lepidochelys olivacea
Flatback - Natator depressa

That would depend on the type - there are loggerheads, leatherbacks, green sea turtles, etc. Here's a site where you can look for these names: http://www.chelonia.org/byspecies.htm
