We have no way of knowing the value of the freshwater carbon turtle because it lived in the late Paleocene about 60 million years ago, and the fossil was discovered in Colombia in May 2012. Next, let's take a look at other information about the freshwater carbon turtle!

The freshwater carbon turtle is classified in the Pterididae family. Because its neck is too long to shrink into the hard shell, it can only bend its neck to one side when resting. The freshwater carbon turtle's shell is 1.71 meters long, about the size of a car. Freshwater carbon turtles have thick and powerful jaws and can eat animals ranging from mollusks to smaller turtles and even crocodiles.
