Ecological selectivity of diet on turtle K/Pg survivorship https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article/22/3/20250790/481023/Ecological-selectivity-of-diet-on-turtle-K-Pg

"turtles that fed on hard-shelled organisms such as gastropods and bivalves survived the mass #extinction largely unscathed. And they were more than five times more likely to survive than turtles that hunted fish or that were purely herbivorous."

SCHILDPADDEN?
Ja schildpadden, schildpadden, schildpadden.
Mijn moeder, @Anneke van Groen, verzamelde schildpadden. Helaas hebben we zelf geen plaats voor alle 2000 exemplaren. Daarom staan mijn zusje Ingrid van Herwijnen en ik zaterdag 28 maart met een groot deel van mama's verzameling op de rommelmarkt in de Modestraat op het Buikslotermeerplein in Amsterdam-Noord.
Heb je iets met schildpadden, ken je iemand die ze verzameld kom dan langs.
