Well, if you click on the link, it actually says" www.ebaumsworld.com/2007/06/GIANT-TURTLE-001- so it's probably a giant sea turtle according to them, but to me it looks like a whale that was stripped/ or lost its teeth, and got burned by maybe some kind of underwater volcano.
Hey, it's far fetched, but it's possible!

The consensus seems to be the belly of a humpback whale based on other photos. Check this link for more photos and commentary: http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/turtle-beaching/
A quick autopsy would tell for absolutely sure who is right. A turtle would have some skeletal remains of the shell as it rots.
Considering that this happened several months ago and there is little follow-up, I'm betting it was something pretty common, like a whale carcass.

Looks like a whale to me. Aside from basking and whale sharks, nothing else gets that big, and that doesn't look much like a shark.

It looks like a whale carcass. The top part that looks like treads is actually the UNDERSIDE of the whale.
