A new pelomedusoid turtle from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar discovered ...Middle East

The new turtle possesses an unusually flattened skull combined with a particularly gracile lower jaw and enlarged tongue bones, which not only must have given it a frog-like appearance, but also suggests that it was a specialized suction feeder that fed on small-bodied living prey using quick strikes.
