K-pg extinction is the one that killed the dinosaurs. I guess there was a kind of turtle that died during that extinction event?

Are you implying that turtles went extinct?

OK I was going to read the links but I’m nearing the end of my daily Lemmy time and I need to ask, turtles can breathe through their skin?!?

Some of them breathe through their butts.
