149 Million years ago!

[Prairie Mom]

Thought I'd post some photos and info if anyone is interested. It really boggles the mind how LITTLE turtles have changed in the past 149 MILLION YEARS!!!
----------------------------------------------------------
Camped over at Dinosaur National Monument on the Colorado/Utah border. Saw tons of amazing dinosaur bones. They have an entire rock face enclosed inside of a building that is covered in hundreds of fossils embedded in the stone. It's pretty impressive. But I have to admit that the kids and I became overly excited by the small case of Turtle fossils on display

I love that the head is still there...

LOOK AT THE FOOT!!! Am I allowed to think a fossil is cute?

Just for fun.
I thought these little displays were also interesting...
