In a paper published August 23^rd in the journal Quaternary Research, Geography and Environmental Science Professor Emeritus Martin Lockley, and his colleagues, explained the significance of the discovery of baby sea turtle fossil prints from the Pleistocene epoch in South Africa. Lockley, who studied turtle tracks from Colorado, says almost all previously-known fossil turtle tracks were made by “fresh water species that lived in lakes and ponds.” Most, he says, “have been found and studied in the Northern Hemisphere, in Europe, North America and Asia.”
