Carolinochelys wilsoni cast replica

Locality: South Carolina

Formation: Chandler Bridge

Length: 80 cm (2 feet 7 inches)

Price: $___

This sea turtle is very similar to the modern loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, which is considered to be an endangered species.

Carolinochelys would have probably preyed on jellyfish or other small prey inhabiting algal mats in the open ocean and on a number of bottom-dwelling invertebrates in shallow coastal waters, including sea urchins, gastropods, corals, sponges, crabs, and anemones.



Prionochelys cast replica

Prionochelys was a spiky sea turtle that lived during the Late Cretaceous in Alabama.

This specimen was cast from the most complete Prionochelys yet discovered. Like the other numerous Late Cretaceous sea turtle species in the southeastern US, Prionochelys would have come ashore to lay eggs on the beaches of the ancient barrier islands off the inland seacoast of Alabama. With beautifully scalloped margins, this is one of the most visually appealing of all Cretaceous sea turtles.

Locality: Alabama

Formation: Mooreville Chalk

Length: 82 cm (2 feet 8 inches)

Price: $__

Locality: Kansas

Formation: Niobrara

Protostega sp skeleton cast replica

Protostega is one of the largest turtle genera to have ever existed. This individual appears to be a much smaller species or juvenile individual. This extinct sea turtle appears to be similar to the extant leatherback sea turtle, and probably filled a similar niche.

Protostega probably fed on marine invertebrates like jellyish and small cephalopods as it cruised the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway.

Cretaceous Sea Turtle Skeleton

Protostega gigas ("first roof" - "giant") is an extinct species of marine turtle. It was first collected from the Smoky Hill Chalk of western Kansas in 1871, and named by E.D. Cope (1872). With a length of 3 m (10 ft), it is the second-largest turtle that ever lived, second only to the giant Archelon.

Turtle: Protostega gigas skeleton cast replica #2

Locality: Texas

Formation: Taylor Group

Flipper Span: 4.7 m (15.5 feet)

Price: $69,500

First discovered in Kansas in the Niobrara Chalk and named by E.D. Cope, Protostega had a somewhat reduced shell for streamlining and weight reduction, probably helping it swim with more speed and agility. This replica is cast from a specimen which was found near Dallas, Texas and is the largest Protostega in the world. With flippers spanning fifteen-and-a-half feet, our adult Protostega makes an impressive exhibit.

Turtle: Real Fossil Testudines Manchurochelys Liaxiensis

Picture #3

This is a real fossil.

Testudines Manchurochelys Liaxiensis

Manchurochelys is an extinct genus of tortoise in the order Paracryptodira. It existed during the early Cretaceous of what is now northeast China. It has been found in the Jianshangou Bed of West Liaoning's Yixian Formation. However, it is a rarely-found fossil.

Since most turtles die inside there shells.This is an exceptional find. It was collected in the Yixian Formation of Liaoning.

The piece has been put back together with the only damage showing behind the left leg and extending in front of the right leg. The picture shows it well.

A real bargain at $4,700.
