Researchers say the turtle was the largest predator in its environment. and this turtle had powerful jaws that could eat anything it encountered such as, mollusks, smaller turtles, crocodiles, etc. 


     This turtle was found in  2005 in the mine in Colombia's Cerrejon formation by Edwin Cadena. The turtle's skull measures 24 centimeters and the shell is 5ft 7in long.
