Hard shell of crabs or tortoises (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carapace

(Other definitions for carapace that I've seen before include "Pace a car around a shell, of a tortoise say" , "hardtop" , "Firm covering" , "Upper shell of tortoise" , "Bony covering on some animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
