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.
The meaning of the word turtle differs from region to region. In North America, all chelonians are commonly called turtles, including terrapins and tortoises. In Great Britain, the word turtle is used for sea-dwelling species, but not for tortoises.ea turtles typically feed on jellyfish, sponge and other soft-bodied organisms. Some species of sea turtle with stronger jaws have been observed to eat shellfish while some species, such as the green sea turtle do not eat any meat at all and, instead, have a diet largely made up of algae.
