Hello again all, I was just in my geology class talking about geologic dating and relative age, And how the first turtle fossils popped up in the beginning of the Triassic period. This made me wonder if we know how old general species of tortoises are because I think it would be cool to know hoe long Franklin's ancestors have been around. I looked up species age on Google and all I got was how long they live. Do any of you have any better ideas to look it up or do any of you know the answers? Franklin is a Russian tortoise, but I'm just as interested in any other tortoises ages too.
