It depends what your definition of reptile is. Turtles, Crocodiles are all "living fossils", because they were present in the mesozoic era. (of course not in the same shape or size, but in the same species). Some even say that birds are reptiles. (because latest fossils show us that some dinosaurs had feathers). So to answer your question, turtles, crocodiles and birds are all living reptiles from the mesozoic era.
Hope this helps.

∙ 12y agoCrocodilians survived, along with many chelonians. One lizard-like creature in its own family (Rhyncocephalia) called the Tuatara living in Indonesia is extremely endangered due to human influence and survived from that era much unchanged.
