Analogous, Turtles and snails have no common ancestor and so they evolved independently of one another from different methods/structures. The Snails shell is secreted by specialised glands in the mantle whereas the turtle shell is modified skin

The shell of a turtle and that of a snail are considered analogous structures because they have different evolutionary origins but serve a similar function as a protective covering. Homologous structures are ones that share a common evolutionary origin, such as the wings of a bat and the arms of a human.
