How about.
Turtles and Tortoises lived amoung dinosuars.
That would get their attention.
You could go on to explain that chelonians were around in the Triassic period over 185 million years ago.
But that they may have been around even further back 250 million years ago.

But certainly during the jurassic period, when marine turtles would come ashore and lay their eggs as they do today.

Not the sea turtles we know today but their ancestors.

I believe that fossils from the Triassic period ( 220 million years ago) found in Gemany are the earliest fossils found that closely resemble modern chelonia. Although many differences are still present, one being teeth!
