When were turtles domesticated?

Answer 1

The earliest tortoise fossils found date to theTriassicperiod.

The remains of a turtle called Odontochelys semitestacea (a half shelled, toothed turtle) have been described from three sets of fossilised remains found in China and dated at around 220 million years old.

As these already show many of the main characteristics of the modern Testudines, it can be reasonably assumed that the ancestors date back further than this.

The probability is that Odontochelys semitestaceaand all modern Testudines evolved from a species of the Anapsids (Clade Anapsida) of the late Carboniferous or early Permian period around 280 - 300 million years ago.

All the Anapsid reptiles, with the exception of Clade Anapsidas and the Procolophonidsbecame extinct during the mass extinction of the Permianperiod.

Answer 2

We actually don't even know for sure. The record of anapsid reptiles is very hazy and only becomes clear starting in the Cretaceous. The first members of anapsids appear in the Permian and are called para reptiles and are not turtles. The record and what you call a turtle/tortoise becomes very hazy with species like Odontochelys and Eunotosaurus. However the first true turtles (not counting tortoises) come from the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago.

Answer 3

Nope see the alligater is still a dinosaur just not evolveing to the normal dinosaurs so they where first a lizard but evolved to a alligator and stayed that way like there's this type of fish dinosaur still surviving today and turtles have a beak like both you know sharp pointy ones but alligators have teeth

Answer 4

Primitive turtles first appeared during the Triassic period of the Mesozoic era. In the Jurassic period, turtles became much more diverse. By the Cretaceous, there were even giant sea turtles, such as Archelon.
