"The snapping turtle family, Chelydridae, evolved in North America and has haunted our wetlands almost unchanged for nearly 90 million years,” according to the National Audubon Society, meaning they roamed the earth alongside dinosaurs.

That's the thing with taxonomy. Snapping turtles ARE their own distinct thing within Cryptodira: the family Chelydridae, which includes the genera Chelydra (common, Central American, and South American snapping turtles) and Macrochelys (alligator and Suwanee snapping turtles).

Paleontologists have described a new genus and species of stem-chelydrid turtle using complete fossilized shells and associated material found in the Early Paleocene Denver Formation in Colorado. Tavachelydra stevensoni lived in what is now the United States during the earliest Paleocene epoch, between 66 and 65 million years ago — just after the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. The species belongs to Chelydridae, a family of freshwater turtles that includes at least seven extinct and two living genera. “The clade of extant chelydrid turtles (Chelydridae) includes five species that are endemic to the New World and whose combined geographic ranges extend from northern South America to southern Canada,” said…
