Fossil of Strange Turtle from Dinosaur Era Discovered in Utah

The fossil of a two-foot long turtle, which belonged to the Cretaceous Period and lived 76 million years ago was unearthed in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. In the 250 million years of history of the evolution of turtles, no species similar to this has yet been found. This finding by a team from the Natural History Museum of Utah is characterised by a nose akin to a pig's snout with two nostrils and can, indeed, be classified as unique.
