Archelon ischyros is the largest sea turtle known to have ever lived, with a weight of two tons and a shell breadth of around 15 feet. It swam in the shallow sea covering central North America around 80 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period. Equipped with a sharp beak, it would likely have been a carnivore feeding on other marine creatures.
