Prehistoric Turtle at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA.

When we were looking at all of the fossil's, we went into the next room and there it was, I had never seen something so amazing and grand. I just stared in awe for awhile and just thought "My God, I would have loved to have seen you alive"! Yes we see lots of dinosaur fossil's at museums, but never have i seen this. Just beautiful, stunning, no matter the size of a turtle it still gives you a sense of calm. Thank you Tellus Museum for the glimps back in time.
