Newly discovered fossil of giant turtle is named after Stephen King novel character

Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum

An international research team led by Dr. Gabriel S. Ferreira from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment at the University of Tübingen has described a new species of giant turtle from the late Pleistocene. Peltocephalus maturin is between 40,000 and 9,000 years old and comes from the Brazilian Amazon. With a shell length of about 180 centimeters, the species is one of the largest known freshwater turtles in the world. The armored reptile was named after the giant turtle "Maturin," a fictional character created by best-selling author Stephen King. With a maximum shell length of 140 centimeters, the Asian narrow-headed softshell turtle (Chitra chitra) together with the approximately 110-centimeter-long South American river turtle (Podocnemis expansa) is one of the largest freshwater turtles alive today...

Giant squids aren't the only cryptozoology success story.

Okapis, saolas, iriomote cats, Yangtze giant softshell turtles, komodo dragons, giant pandas, platypus, dingisos, and even gorillas are just some of the animals that were considered mythical/cryptids by at least some parts of the world until they were actually found. And than there's animals thought extinct that turned out to still be extant, such as coelacanths. And than yet again you have extinct animals that were thought to fictional but turned out to have once lived, like dodos and homo floresiensis.

As for the possibility of Bigfoot and the lack of photos or such... well, let's just put it this way.

There's almost assuredly a population of fucking MOOSE in New Zealand that nobody can find.

Or as another example, the above-mentioned giant pandas are notoriously elusive even AFTER they were proven to be real, despite being fat, slow, and lazy animals who spent their time walking around and eating bamboo while being bright black and white in a predominantly green environment. It turns out, it's actually REALLY EASY for even large animals to avoid detection for decades or even centuries under the right circumstances, such as having low population numbers and living in remote habitats away from human settlements.

Even things like dead bodies or fossils can be insanely difficult and unlikely to find; the fossil record is incredibly incomplete for the simple reason that the vast majority of animal and plant remains don't get fossilized after dying, they just decompose into the environment, and this is especially true in certain environments where decay happens faster (for instance, looking for fossils or dead bodies in the Pacific Northwest, aka prime Bigfoot country, is a crapshoot because remains rot away FAST in rainforests and are unlikely to get fossilized). The number of species known about through the fossil record may represent less than 1% of all the species that have ever lived.

Giant squids just got lucky to be found at all.

Back to older art. These are giant softshell turtles found in the Eocene Drazinda Formation of Pakistan. On the left is Drazinderetes (Greek for Drazinda Rower), known from a bony carapace 0.8 meters long. On the right, an indetermined softshell turtle that may or may not belong to the same species, but is only known from a plastron element. This might correspond to a bony shell 1.2 meters long. As you can see there are some big difference between the lower estimate and the upper estimate, which has a lot of free space. This is because in different softshell turtles there's difference ratios between the bony and the soft shell parts. The lower estimate is based on Apalone softshell turtles, which have only 20% cartilage on the shell, while the upper is based on the Malayan softshell which has up to 45% cartilage in addition to the bone. First image Apalone ferox (Florida softshell) by Johnskate17 on Wikimedia Second image Dogania subplana (Malayan softshell) by Wibowo Djatmiko on Wikimedia

Drazinderetes lived during the Eocene in what is now Pakistan in the Drazinda Formation. This is interesting as this formation preserves a marine environment, meaning that in the absence of evidence that the fossils were washed out at sea, Drazinderetes might have been a marine animal. This would match its enormous size, as most giant turtle species have been marine (not counting those of Miocene South America). Although this would make it the first known fully marine softshell until evidence of the contrary is found, modern softshells are known to occasionally enter saltwater. Drazinderetes shared its environment with crocodiles similar to Asiatosuchus, early manatee relatives in the form of Protosiren and primitive whales related to Basilosaurus. The following reconstructions have both been made by @knuppitalism-with-ue during his paleoart streams.

Still struggling to choose, so poll!!

Mata mata:

Harsh looking, but actually a mother hen (ok, not that harsh, but look at those ridges)

Sort of beard is fun material to annoy people and be annoyed by people

Looking like a piece of bark is perfect for hidding

Passive hunter (once more, +1 point for ninja mode)

Can't chew because of how its mouth is constructed ?????? (from Wikipedia but dang that info???)

Carnivorous

Pig-nosed:

Silly looking, but actually mature (leader)

The only freshwater turtle with flippers

Part of the Trionychia superfamily, like the softshell turtles (Donniiiiiie)

Apparently more territorial than most turtles and tortoises (very good for stories ehehe)

"has an extensive fossil record extending into the Paleogene"

Omnivorous

pelicans >:3

~🪶

Listen. You asked for it. Birds are definitely one of the most messed up animals, but these guys are the worst.

Alright, these guys are gregarious birds, which means they're flock birds. Live, travel, and hunt all as a flock.

There's eight living living species.

The four with white adult plumage nest on the ground, the ones with grey or brown plumage will nest in trees or sea-side rocks

Fossils have shown these demons have been around for at least 30 million years and it's beak is practically identical to modern day pelicans

As with so many birds they are found on all continents except Antarctica.

Normally they have only one to two eggs

They start as weirdos from birth. Babies are known, after being fed, to "throw tantrums". This involves them yelling, dragging themselves in circles, and hitting themselves in the head until they have something that looks like a seizure, eventually falling unconscious.

Scientists have no fucking clue why they do this, their best guess is that it's to draw attention away from the sibling so it doesn't get fed

Parents of ground breeding species tend to drag older young around by the skull before feeding them. Like???

Now we get to the fun stuff, feeding.

These demons will literally eat anything they can fit in their gullet, from fish, to trash, to dogs, even having been seen going after toddlers.

There's these birds, cape gannett's, up to 60,000 of them will congregate on malgas island to nest. Now normally one parent will stay behind while the other goes out to hunt but thanks to overfishing both tend to have to leave the chick unnatended. This is where the pelican comes in.

These demon birds will snatch up any unsupervised chick, sometimes even pushing parents out of the way to just grab them. The cape gannett has no defense mechanisms so they just watch while it happens.

But hey, a lot of birds do that, so what's so bad? They'll swallow these chicks (or whatever they've decided to eat) whole, while still alive. It dies via suffocation and stomach acid!

It gets so much better though! When the pelican flies back home to vomit up that poor chick to feed to their future demon spawn, it's not always completely dead.

So it gets eaten again while half alive.

Also they do this shit and scientists still haven't come to a conclusion on why they do it.

Though, there was a pelican who got got by a turtle. They don't know what kind it was but it was most likely a giant softshell since they're mean as fuck and always ready to fight

It also probably died because without that pouch it can't eat!

Trionyx Fossil Turtle Shell – Eocene Barton Beds Hampshire UK, Genuine Softshell Turtle Fossil

An exceptional and rare Trionyx fossil turtle shell discovered in the Barton Formation (Barton Beds), dating to the Eocene Epoch (~40 million years ago). This impressive specimen was collected by our dedicated fossil team members Alister and Alison on 08 June 2024 from Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire, and has been professionally cleaned, prepped, and treated by Alison.

Trionyx is a genus of extinct softshell turtles within the family Trionychidae, known for their leathery shells and aquatic adaptations. Their fossils are rarely found complete, making this partial shell specimen a significant and highly desirable piece.

Fossil Type: Turtle Shell (Reptile – Trionychidae)

Genus: Trionyx

Geological Age: Eocene – Bartonian Stage

Formation: Barton Formation (Barton Clay)

Depositional Environment: The Barton Beds were laid down in a shallow, subtropical marine to marginal marine environment with estuarine influence. These coastal systems were rich in life and conducive to the preservation of both marine and nearshore vertebrates.

Morphological Features:

Flattened carapace (shell) fragments typical of softshell turtles

Possible preserved margin or plastron elements

Mineralised bone texture visible under close inspection

Notable:

Rare Eocene turtle fossil from a classic British fossil site

Discovered and prepared by our own team with full provenance

Groundwater already poisoned by oil. River water might be poisoned by oil next. The US government, Canadian mining companies, investors, US Army Corps of Engineers, their own local Land Board, are all working against them. Where would they turn to get some clean drinking water?

So Keystone XL is currently being built. The first portion within US borders began construction in April 2020 at the Montana-Saskatchewan border. And close nearby, in the northern Great Plains of far northeastern “Montana” just south of the Canadian border, at arguably the most geographically isolated space of the contiguous United States, the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes had their drinking water source destroyed when the groundwater of the reservation’s aquifer was poisoned by decades of industrial oil extraction, which required them to install the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water Supply System around 2009/2010, which now retrieves drinking water from the Missouri River. The river borders the entire length of the southern edge of the reservation, over 160 kilometers.

But then when Canadian fossil fuel giant TransCanada showed up in 2012 and wanted to install the Keystone XL pipeline, the (Democart) Montana governor had the (all-Democrat) state Land Board unanimously vote 5-to-0 to sell off land easements on the edge of the reservation directly to the oil corporation without any environmental assessments and without any mention of the tribes’ drinking water. Those land board members later ascended in the power structures of the state (one of them became the next governor, later that same year).

Then, the US Army Corps of Engineers issued a water permit to TransCanada, giving them permission to build the pipeline, without any mention of the tribes, reservation, or drinking water, even though Keystone XL will be built across the Milk River (a significant river, about 1 kilometer upriver from tribal land, which flows into the reservation’s drinking water supply), and the pipeline will also be built across the wide riverbed of the Missouri River at the base of the dam holding back the fifth-largest reservoir in the contiguous United States (about only 1 kilometer upriver from tribal land and about 120 kilometers upriver of the tribal drinking water intake plant).

In the same region, a few dozen kilometers beyond the soon-to-be-built Milk River and Missouri River pipeline crossings, Keystone XL will then be built across the riverbed of the Yellowstone River, the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States. The Yellowstone River then flows into the Missouri River, this time, not far downstream of Fort Peck, before the conjoined water of the Missouri flows through multiple reservations, including Standing Rock, in so-called North and South Dakota.

Coincidentally, in 2011, an oil pipeline buried beneath the Yellowstone River in Montana broke and spilled over 60,000 gallons of crude oil into the river where pallid sturgeon, spiny softshell turtle, Yellowstone cutthroat, paddlefish, piping plover, and other iconic regional creatures dwell.

Then, in January 2015, another oil pipeline beneath the Yellowstone River broke and spilled over 30,000 gallons of crude oil into the river, poisoning the water supply of the city of Glendive downriver. So, in 2018, Fort Peck leadership cited these leaks as part of the reason for their opposition to the upcoming Keystone XL pipeline project.

After the Milk, Missouri, and Yellowstone river crossings, Keystone XL will pass near Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River reservations and across Rosebud Sioux reservation land. As of June 2020, Fort Peck is now suing the US government over the lack of consultation. (The Rosebud Sioux and Fort Belknap communities continue to pursue a separate lawsuit against TransCanada and the US government. In February 2020, the State of South Dakota’s legislature made it a felony crime, if any gathering of 3 or more people obstructs operations of a pipeline or other fossil fuel infrastructure. The law can also be interpreted to criminalize “inciting” or supporting a protest or demonstration.)

Now, the Keystone XL pipeline border-crossing portion, in northeastern Montana next-door to Fort Peck, finished construction in late May 2020. Next up: The river-crossing segments might begin construction within weeks, pending the outcome of some court cases.

The thing is: The Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water Supply intake collects about 3,000 gallons of water every minute. In the summer heat, even more water is collected. A pipeline rupture and oil spillage at either the Milk River or the Missouri River crossings would completely shut operations of the water intake and treatment. No drinking water. Perhaps for days, weeks. Until the poison is managed or swept away. The alternative? For drinking water, the tribes would have to turn instead to groundwater from the aquifer. Y’know, the same aquifer that is still poisoned by oil.

100 Days to Animal Crossing Challenge!

In the spirit of the countdown to New Leaf (remember when? :’) ), and to help  wile away the days, here’s 100 questions for every day until New Horizons is here! Enjoy!

1. Do you prefer making up a new name for your villager, or using your own name? I always name my villager after myself. I go for the immersion!

2. Do you use the first map you’re given, or do you reset for layouts? I used to reset for layouts, until I started hacking. In New Horizons, I'll just be resetting for fruit!

3. Do you use the face you’re given, or do you wait for guides and choose your favourite? I would look for guides. Even with hacking, it's easier to just start with the face you want.

4. Favourite town/island name?/Have you a name picked out for your town/island? My favorite town name that I've seen so far is Lunaire. I don't want to share my town name just yet. It's nothing revolutionary or anything but its personal I guess?

I had a DVD with those lame live action commercials and I was ENAMORED with them! Obsessed! I begged my parents for the game and they would hem and haw "well there's a lot of reading... you'll have to get better at reading... we won't always be able to help you read it..." and I swore up and down that I'd learn and practice reading. Obviously, nearly 20 years later, I'm still completely obsessed

71. Do you prefer the “live” versions of K.K. Slider’s Songs, or the airchecks? I like both but for different reasons. The live versions are nice and nostalgic and the air checks are closer to the aesthetic that they're actually trying to portray

72. An NPC you’d like to see more of? Farley and Serena!

73. An NPC you’d like to see less of? None in particular, everyone is pretty well designed imo

74. If you could have any piece of AC merchandise, which would it be? I once saw a cute bento box with pics from the movie, my soul died knowing I may never find it to buy anywhere

75. Only 25 days left to go! How’s the wait? Still numb!

76. Will you be downloading the game, or getting a physical copy? I'm getting a physical copy and my husband is getting a digital, so he can't be tempted to sell it!

77. Do you like coming up with your own town tune/flag, or using what the game gives you/something from a book/tv show/other game, etc? I like doing a sort of japanese "end of school" bell for my town tune, only for the town clock. Idk how I'm gonna do it in this game though...

78. Do you play every day, or every other day/when you feel like it/other? I used to play ACNL everyday, then it got a bit boring. I'm gonna play ACNH literally everyday forever lol

79. Are you the kind of person who starts over after leaving their town for a really long time, or do you try to get right back to it? I tend to restart a lot, but I recently decided to leave my ACNL town with no regrets so I hacked the crap out of it without feeling tacky or cringy

80. Do you remember how you got into the Animal Crossing series? It immediately caught my eye as a 6 year old and its had its grasp on me since

81. Do you like to make up a story for the town/character when you play, or do you just play as yourself? I play as myself but I sorta make a bunch of headcanons for myself and my neighbors and stuff to make it more interesting for me. Sometimes its embarrassing and sometimes I need to tell the people!

82. Favourite dream address / “theme” for a town (pastel, fairytale, forest, horror, etc)? My favorite town has always been Pastelia, although the mayor's name is escaping me atm >m<"

83. Do you like to have your house fully upgraded/paid off, or do you like keeping it smaller/having fewer rooms? I used to fully upgrade my house all the time but my current ACNL house only have 4 rooms and that's IT

84. Favourite hairstyle? The one with the middle split and it goes behind the ears

85. Least favourite hairstyle? The three ponytails, rip ACWW me

86. Favourite hair colour? I go either pink or my natural brown

87. Least favourite hair colour? That bright green...

88. Do you prefer wearing in-game clothes, or custom designs? In game clothes!

89. Favourite hourly track? 2 pm from ACPG

90. Just ten more days! How’re you feeling? Half paid off my new switch, so ready!

91. Least favourite hourly track? I don't think I have one!

92. Do you prefer to know all about the game before designing your town/island/house, or do you like to wing it? Bro, I've been glued to my phone since the direct came out

93.  Another nice Animal Crossing memory? ACNL came out around the time my husband and I started dating, almost exactly at the same time. Now its 8 years later, we're married, and we're gonna play another animal crossing game together finally!

94. Are you excited about same-system multiplayer? Its gonna be great for a lot of people, kinda useless for me though

95. Five more days! Are you going to trade/use amiibo to get your favourite villager, or wait for them to move in themselves/make a new favourite? I think I'll put in my 2 top favs, and then see what comes. Maybe after a few months I'll put everyone in

96.  Favourite emotion/Shrunk joke? I don't really like his jokes, but my fav emotions to use are the bashful ones

97.  Least favourite emotion/Shrunk joke? Not a fan of his dopey dance

98.  Is there a feature you’d like to add to Animal Crossing? I wanna be able to decorate for my neighbors so badly!

99.  Is there a feature you’d take away? It kinda seems like a lot of issues were solved in ACNH, I guess we'll see what's leftover as an annoying feature

100. Final day! Any more thoughts? Midnight release at my local gamestop! Gonna be there with a bunch of DOOM fans too! Can't wait!!
