"… the origin of this highly successful order is obscured by the lack of
early fossils, although turtles leave more and better fossil remains than
do other vertebrates. … Intermediates between turtles and cotylosaurs,
... reptiles from which turtles [supposedly] sprang, are entirely
lacking." (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online, "Turtle")
