New evidence suggests that the earliest ancestors of modern sea turtles may have come from the Deep South in the United States. Working with two relatively complete turtle skeletons, the fossils help solve a long-standing debate as to whether this animal was a unique species. They also provide insights into the evolutionary history of living species of sea turtles, including the Kemp's Ridley, Loggerhead and the endangered Green sea turtle.
It's so cool that we can keep discovering old things. Such as those rocks that are literally hundreds of thousands of years old. It is crazy to me that we still do not know much about the depths of our oceans. I wonder what species could be out in the deep ocean that we do not know about as of now.
