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.
Historians aren't certain about the exact origins of cantaloupe. The large number of melon family members (Cucumis melo) growing wild in Africa has led some investigators to place cantaloupe's origins on that continent. But African melons may themselves have had ancestors in parts of Asia, including India or China. That's about 30 times higher than the beta-carotene content of fresh oranges. 2  Although this nutrient richness of cantaloupe still does not place it in the beta-carotene range for fresh carrots here (about 8,300 micrograms), it's still an aspect of this delicious fruit that is all-too-frequently overlooked.
