Gigantic Fossilized Turtle Found in Greece

A group of scientist from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki made a great discovery in Pieria Greece. They located three fossilized turtles, at a beach called Makrigialo, which are estimated to be between 2.5 and 3 million years old.

One of these turtles, weighing at 800 kilos, was excavated from the sand and transferred to the City hall.
