The same site was were the fossil of the largest snake ever discovered were found, Titanoboa. The site is amazing because it shows animals that developed just after the dinosaurs were wiped out.

Is this a newly-discovered species, then? The article doesn't really say.
Archelon has been known for a long while, and was much larger.

If it was a snapping turtle it could eat a smart car.

I've always wondered why some animals in ancient times were so much larger than today. Was it because their predators or their prey was larger, sort of like an arms race?

I saw one in Missouri cross the road in front of me. I stopped, it was the size of the engine in my car. It was headed to a pond on a friends property. Later she told me one of her swans was just floating in the water with it’s head down. They got out the boat and pulled it up........no head.
YIKES!!
