Archelon in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Archelon Fossil Information from Blathers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
When you donate a Archelon fossil part to the Museum, Blathers tells you, "Ah, yes. Archelon. It was a sort of huge sea turtle. The largest thus far found, if you want to know. They were very sizable—some 13 feet long, with a shell the size of a small car... If you're into that sort of thing. They likely ate seaweed, shrimp, octopus, and possibly ammonites, given the era involved. It seems CERTAIN giant turtles had to be prima donnas and eat some of the oldest life forms on earth!"
