There is evidence that all modern turtles are

descend

ed from a terrestrial

ancestor which lived before most of the

dinosaur

are two key fossils

called

Proganochelys quenstedti

and

Palaeochersis talampayensis

dating

from early dinosaur times,which appear to be close to the ancestry of all

modern turtles and might wonder how we can tell whether fossil

animals lived on land or in water ,especially if only fragments are

found .Sometimes it

’

s obvious .

Ichthyosaur

s were

reptilian

contemporaries

of the dinosaurs , with fins and streamlined bodies .The fossils look like

dolphins and they surely lived like dolphins , in the water .With turtles it is a

little less obvious .One way to tell is by measuring the bones of their forelimbs.
