The cool thing about this turtle is that it's really old, but it's not very primitive, Parham told Live Science. Though the specimen is at least 120 million years old, the turtle doesn't look like an ancient species that was early on in its evolution, and instead is very specialized, he added. This suggests there could be older sea turtles still to be found (if they are preserved), the scientists said.
