Car-sized Turtle Found in Colombian Coal Mine

Remains of an enormous turtle… unearthed in a Colombian coal mine. The shell alone of the 60-million-year-old turtle, Carbonemys cofrinii, aka "coal turtle," is large enough to be a small swimming pool. Its skull is roughly the size of a regulation NFL football. "…first evidence of giant-ism in freshwater turtles…" "…smaller crocs would have been easy prey for this behemoth."
