Giant ÂJurassic marine turtle nicknamed "Mobbl" (but yet to be scientifically named and described) Âfinally prepared and put on display at Bamberg Museum of Natural History--the fossils were found in 2018 in a local limestone quarry. The material was recovered broken into hundreds of small pieces that had to be carefully reassembled as a virtually complete (but flattened) specimen 1.4 meters long. It's said to be the biggest Jurassic turtle found to date. [I'm not quite sure what the nickname "Mobbl" is about, said to refer to its "sheer size." Mobbl would literally mean something like "little mob" I assume (it's not in online dictionaries). Checking the internet, I came across the cartoon mascots Mobbl and Ratz for two playmobiles ["Spielmobile"]--big traveling trucks with games and cultural events for children in the region. Mobbl the mascot is a big lumpy-looking Âcreature, so maybe that's part of what the nickname is about.] (in German)
