Archelon is one of the largest sea turtles that has ever existed. It was the size of a car, measuring 4 m (13 ft) long or more and weighed about 2.2 tonnes. It was a marine turtle, whose closest living relative in the present day is the leatherback sea turtle. Archelon has a hooked beak and probably had a very strong bite. It's mouth is well designed for eating large molluscs.
Fossils have been found in North America (Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota).
