Yes, skeletal reconstructions know no phylogenetic bounds (well, except they have to have skeletons...). This is Basilemys, a Late Cretaceous "tortise-like" turtle. It looks to me like he could hold his own as a walking foot stool. Or perhaps you could use him to serve cocktails at parties (albeit slowly).

Serving cocktails at parties? Huh, sounds like something the Flintstones would do. :)

Actually I've thought about doing something like that for kicks - the original idea was to do it with a sarcopterygian.

That's one thing I found unbelievably cool, when I learned of it. Turtles having land dwelling ancestors, who's ancestors were aquatic... The ancestor's of which were land dwelling and before that, aquatic! :D
I believe some of my friends must be anapsid, the way they change their minds!
