Due to my crazy fishing style i have no more turtles on the map) Neither i can get shell other way (trading and so on). I got 2 dwarves getting into SM, and i had to close my game manually cause i cant give them shells. Can anyone tell me the way to get some shells?
I tried a method adding shell to horse like here http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Shell

But after i slaughtered a domestic horse, i still didnot get any shells. What's wrong with it?

I don't know about what you did wrong when tinkering with the files, but I did something similar.

I went to my save file and opened up the RAW folder and fiddled with the material_default_template.

I added [SHELL] to hair and cartilage (currently useless in game).  It's worked well for me so far.

Which raw's did you edit?  Each save game has it's own copy, so you need to edit the ones under data/save/*region name*/raw/objects.
