The Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) is one of the largest sea turtles, found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Named for the greenish color of its body fat, which comes from its herbivorous diet of seagrasses and algae, this species plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. Unlike other sea turtles, Green Sea Turtles have serrated jaws, an adaptation for cutting through tough vegetation. They are known for their long migrations between feeding grounds and nesting beaches, with some traveling thousands of miles. Unfortunately, habitat destruction, bycatch in fishing gear, and illegal hunting have made them an endangered species.

This detailed skull replica is created using a high-precision 3D scan of an authentic Green Sea Turtle skull. Cast in durable resin and hand-finished, it captures every fine anatomical feature, including the strong, beak-like jaws adapted for a plant-based diet.

Ideal for educators, marine biologists, and collectors, this Green Sea Turtle skull replica offers a fascinating look into the anatomy and adaptations of one of the ocean’s most important and threatened species.
