Yup, there were 9 of them in the same find. They are having a very hard time explaining it from an evolutionary standpoint.
Since I need to censor it for you, here's part of the article quoted from a non-creationist source (I know, I shouldn't but it's as far as some of us are ready to go):
As Joyce told LiveScience, “the chances of both partners dying while mating are extremely low, and the chances of both partners being preserved as fossils afterward even lower.”4 (To Discovery News Joyce said that “the chances of both partners dying at the same time is highly unlikely and the chances of both partners being preserved afterwards even less likely.”6 (Emphasis added.)
Some points from the article you missed, censored so you can read it:
. The article offers the alternative of rapid burial due to catastrophic events.
. The turtles look identical to modern-day turtles (yes possible in an evolutionary model but to me unlikely within the evolutionary model due to ever-present odds of mutation even to the smallest degree).
