An ancient species of turtle whose remains have been discovered in Spain is the largest marine turtle found in Europe. The turtle, which has been named Leviathanochelys aenigmatica, was up to 3.74 meters long. It lived sometime between 72.1 million and 83.6 million years ago, around the same time as dinosaurs such as Velociraptor. Fragments of the fossil were first found by a hiker in 2016 in Coll de Nargó, a village in the Catalonia region. The remains were up and collected by local government and museum officials. In 2021, Àngel Luján at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and his colleagues more excavations of the area and discovered that the fossil actually belonged to a new species of turtle. During this excavation, the team realized that the turtle’s 90-centimetre-wide pelvis had two bone bulges on its front, unlike any other turtle pelvises previously . The turtle is the second-largest marine turtle ever discovered and the largest to have been found in Europe.
