Sea Turtle History. The oldest fossils of turtles were found in Germany and date back 215 million years, during the Triassic period. 1 They are among the oldest fossils of four-legged animals and one of the Earthâs most ancient creatures. These ancestral turtles had completely formed shells and lived on land, in marshes.
Yet no evidence ever has been found in support of the evolution of turtles from a non-turtle ancestor in spite of over a century of extensive fossil explorations and the identification of many thousands of fossils.The origin of turtles has long been, and continues to be, a major evolutionary enigma.The oldest known turtles clearly were turtles. Since turtles appear abruptly in the fossil record, the current data are consistent with a creation event followed by considerable diversification coupled with degeneration.he origin of turtles has long been, and continues to be, a major evolutionary enigma.
