Archelon ischyras

Archelon ischyras (pronounced: /ˈɑːr k ɑː l ɒn ˈʃ aɪ r ʌ s/ AR-ka-lon SHY-rus^[4]), also known as archelon, was a species of large marine turtle. Archelons were technically not dinosaurs.^[2]^[3]

DescriptionEdit

Archelons were large turtles, with a massive shell. Their shell was a leathery shell instead of a hard shell. It was thick and formed in plates. Archelons had a pair of large, powerful flippers.^[2]

CombatEdit

Their thick and strong shell provided archelons with amble defence against predators.^[2]

HabitatEdit

Archelons were found in oceans, spending most of their time in the water.^[2]

BiologyEdit

Archelons were carnivores and were solitary creatures.^[2]
