During the Cretaceous period (145–66 million years ago), turtles were already a diverse and well-established group of reptiles. Characterized by their protective bony shells, these turtles ranged from small terrestrial species to giant marine turtles.

Notable examples include Archelon, one of the largest sea turtles ever, with a shell up to four meters (13 feet) long, and Protostega, another giant marine turtle that likely fed on jellyfish and soft-bodied prey. These species illustrate the evolutionary adaptations of prehistoric turtles to marine environments and highlight the diversity of Cretaceous reptiles.
