The fossil remains of a 60-million-year-old turtle called
Carbonemys cofrinii
was found in 2005 in Colombia, and just now introduced to the public
after years of study by the paleontologists from North Carolina State
University who found it. The shell of this turtle is more than five and a
half feet long!
Carbonemys had jaws strong enough to eat almost anything, including crocodiles. Read more about this discovery at
NC State.
