#TurtleDay is also a chance to showcase what my kids thought was The Best Thing in the Palermo Achaeological Museum, the resident Turtles.
Could some go in your garden @romanpalace?

The article in here is free to download and has a good introduction and some detail, although work still evolving.

They do circulate widely, although such long distance are outliers, on aggregate there is a drop off after about 20 miles.
The interest is in the details, does the issuer or town matter more, how this changes over time. Some articles already on my Academia page, hope full study finished next year.
