We report the experimental discovery of superconductivity with critical temperature Tc above 70 K in zirconium polyhydrides, the record high so far for transition metal hydrides. The superconducting zirconium polyhydrides are synthesized at the extreme conditions above 200 GPa & 2000 K by using diamond anvil cell combined with in-situ laser heating. Superconductivity was observed in the samples maintained at the same pressure upon quenched from heating. The upper critical field is estimated to be ~36 Tesla from measuring the shift of Tc as function of applied magnetic fields while the superconducting coherent length is calculated to be about 30 ? based on Ginzburg Landau formula.
