Nowadays the only ones left that do anything are turtles.

In this comic, Cueball and Megan are at a paleontology museum and are looking at the fossilized skeleton of a Stegosaurus. Dinosaurs encompassed a wide variety of species that would be amazing to see alive today, including T. rex, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, etc.Template:fact Cueball is remarking that the "bones" they are looking at are now actually rock, and that 'rocks' then were way cooler (e.g. inside a dinosaur) than modern rocks. He may be under the impression that dinosaurs looked like their skeletons and therefore, were "rocks" that could walk, or perhaps just that their skeletons were actually made of rock, making those 'rocks' more cool than our modern inanimate ones.
The title text suggests that turtles are a form of animate rock. This could be interpreted in two ways. In the first interpretation, you could say that their hard shells make them seem like rocks that are able to move on their own. This gives the latest approximation to modern "rocks" that do more or look cooler than just plain old rocks. In the second interpretation, the text could be generalizing the idea of bone-based armor as "rocks" to other animals. This would include other armored animals like armadillos and pangolins. Extending it beyond bone-based to any hard outer construction could encompass many other life forms - for example, shellfish and corals.
