They are Cuttlefish bones (with T in the middle not D)

Just throw it in and your tort can chew on it to keep his beak in shape.

Some love them, some completely ignore them. If your tort never takes an interest - give it a few weeks - then you will need to grind it into fine powder (or buy calcium powder,) and sprinkle a tiny pinch sparsely on food 3 times a week

Cuttlebone is the correct term, though cuttlefish bone is acceptable, both of which annoy me as the cuttlefish isn't a fish and, being an invertebrate, doesn't have any bones. .
