🐢If you ever wanted to see a turtle with cow-like horns and a large, bony tail club, you can find one in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins!

🦴This #FossilFriday, get acquainted with Meiolania platyceps. It lived about 120,000 years ago, during the Late Pleistocene and was discovered on Lord Howe Island, a volcanic island about 400 miles (643 kilometers) from Australia. Specimens have also been found in Cenozoic rocks in South America, Australia, and on Pacific islands.
