This is a rare complete skeletonand shell replica of a 130 million year old (Cretaceous fossil turtle from China. It is a distant relative of the modern-day snapping turtle.
Liaoning Province, China, has become one of the foremost paleontological sites in the world since the discovery of Sinosauropteryx, a small-feathered meat-eating dinosaur, from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation. Since the 1990s dozens of groundbreaking finds have been discovered there, including the earliest flower, placental mammal, and marsupial, as well as several birds and feathered dinosaurs, including one that was found in a sleeping position. These have added further evidence that birds and dinosaurs may be directly related.
