Identification of a turtle

My sister found a turtle outside her work at the Tinley Park convention center. I would like to know the species so I could properly care for it, if you could respond to me by email I can attach a photo of the turtle since there is no place to attach a photo on this site. Thank you, Lauren Adolfino

PS for now I would like to tell you that the turtle is small and brown with a sort of pointed nose and the shell has a kind of a raised mountain shape texture on the outside circumference and straight down the middle

Lauren, you can send the picture to me at lkammin@illinois.edu. But the turtle needs to go back where it was found.
