A simple family fishing trip on the Alabama River turned into a once-in-a-million discovery for the Coleman family.

What they originally thought was just a muddy rock turned out to be the fossilized shell of a leatherback sea turtle… and not just any turtle, but a 32-million-year-old species that had never been identified before.
