I think it looks like a nice meal for Prognathodon, which makes me question, as large marine turtles seem to have been rather diverse and rather abundant, were they one of the preferred preys of non-Globidens Globidensines?
I know they have been suggested, but maybe even they were adapted to feeding of especially them?

The "it is big too" immediately drew my attention

Nice find! and it is really big. there seems to have been quite a radiation of giant turtles in the late Cretaceous, more than in any other period.

PS: Grey suggested to consult you on a matter of Carcharodon and Carcharocles tooth lenght measurements, could you have a look at it?

There is also something new for the feeding apparata thread.
