Animals that are definitely turtles are found from the later Jurassic period, with some almost-turtles like Proganochys found in the late Triassic. The first dinosaurs are found in the early Triassic. So far, fossil evidence suggests that turtle-like possible ancestors with partial shells predate dinosaurs, but dinosaurs predate true turtles.
