Few months ago about sea carapace turtle exhibits. They were found in the mountains of Murcia. The age of these carapace turtles in particular I do not know, but I must say that Murcia was under the waters of the Sea for millions of years, perhaps, Murcia was the last party to leave the sea across the Iberian Peninsula.
The Archaelogical Museum is located in Alfonso X "El Sabio" Av.
