Reptilian carapace (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tortoiseshell

(Other definitions for tortoiseshell that I've seen before include "Butterfly - yellow-brown mottled material" , "Butterfly - cat" , "Ornamental material" , "Domestic cat mottled in brownish-yellow and black" , "The case of the slow-moving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
