Short answer

In the dictionary sense, sea-turtle shell — a material regulated under CITES. In the trade, however, “bağa” most often denotes cast phenolic resin of the catalin family rather than shell. The two senses share one word; only measurement, not the term, tells them apart.

Meanings in the trade

These are the recorded usages of the term: publications, catalogues and the market. Each usage carries its own source grade and is not a definition.

Canonical mapping

A mapping is not a conclusion: it is a claim about what the term points to, not a measurement of the material.

No material mapping is shown: a regulated material (CITES) is assigned only by positive identification; a market claim alone does not grant this code.
