Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted cords!

Please do not attempt to go there!



Almost all of the caches in this series are 2WD drive accessible. There are a few that are down spur roads that are an easy walk. Remember, there is NO cell service out there, so don't take chances! Many areas of the Osceola can be wet, so please remember to bring boots!

I found a spot in the Osceola for a cute turtle geoart.

To find the cords for the true location of the caches, just answer the easy questions about turtles.

 

Odontochelys; pronounced oh-DON-toe-KELL-iss - The ancestor of the ancient green sea turtle (Odontochelys) shared some similarities in it's preferred habitat. The Odontochelys spent most of its life in shallow waters along the coastline, in bays and coves, and around coral reefs. However in modern times only adult green sea turtles spend their lives near the shallows of the waters, young green sea turtles ventured into the deeper parts of the open ocean. Scientists have suggested that the Odontochelys did not spend lots of time or anytime in the open ocean and only spent time in the shallows. Mainly because that was where the Odontochelys could find food, the animals would have easy access to land and being closer to shore kept them away from many of their ancient predators. However many scientists are still unsure of the exact habitat of this ancient sea turtle. It i suggested that both ancient and modern turtles share a similar habitat. However only adult green sea turtles (modern) share the closet resemblances to Odontochelys habitat which was water near the coastline.

On of the primitive features of the Odontochelys was teeth.
