Right now one of my classes is studying both aldabra tortoise and common snapping turtle skulls. I thought I would post pictures in case anyone is interested.

Aldabrachelys dussumieri

Chelydra serpentina

Wow, I find it very interesting the size of the nasal cavity as well as the bony teeth plates (Jaw?).
Thanks for sharing those with us Kevan.
