We have live one nearly that size and fossils of a foot long are found in my state.I wonder of any will show up in the Vero Man dig

That would be so cool to have a fossil of a foot long dragonfly .... it would fit into my home easier than a T-Rex like Sue!

Gator turtles are a bit bigger and more menacing then the common snapping turtle .my fil ate a lot of turtles.he used to hunt them with a .22 and his mom would cool them.hard to believe that area is a college and a few homes now.it was a marsh in the 1940s and up to the late 50s.

And a protected species. Best not go taking them.

Not in florida or louisana. You must be thinking about loggerheads.

You're right. Most states have done this, but not Florida. But now, that might change. Turns out one population of them is a separate species, unique to Florida. And that probably will result in protection.
