Well if you gotta go...

Fossilised turtles (Naturmuseum Senckenberg)


The fossilsed remains of turtles mid-coitus were recently unearthed in Germany.

Researchers think the turtles had initiated sex in the surface waters of the lake that once existed on the site, and were then overcome as they sank through deeper layers made toxic by the release of volcanic gases.
