A Sea Turtle (Cheloniidae) from the Middle Eocene of North Caucasus
Paleontological Journal, 2019The incomplete skeleton of a juvenile sea turtle (Cheloniidae) is described from the terminal Bartonian (late Middle Eocene) of the Gorny Luch locality (Krasnodar krai, Russia) as Eochelone sp. The new find extends the known geographic distribution of turtles of the genus Eochelone Dollo, 1903, previously known in Europe only from the Lutetian of ...

Marine debris ingestion by Chelonia mydas (Testudines: Cheloniidae) on the Brazilian coast
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015Chelonia mydas is distributed in several regions of the world and they are common in coastal regions and around islands. Between August 2008 and July 2009, 20 specimens of C. mydas were found dead on the beaches of Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. The stomachs were removed and anthropogenic wastes were separated according their malleability and color.

Autumn Sightings of Marine Turtles (Cheloniidae) off South Texas
The Southwestern Naturalist, 1983Based on sightings during low-altitude aerial surveys, 21-30 September 1979, the total number of marine turtles off South Texas-Aransas to Brownsville, inland coast to 18 m contour-was estimated conservatively as 19.0 ? .6. Turtles seen were probably loggerheads or Kemp's ridleys. One large turtle was seen in Laguna Madre adjacent to Mansfield Cut. All

Swimming in Sea Turtles of the Family Cheloniidae
Copeia, 1971Cheloniid turtles swim by moving the blade of their pectoral flipper up and down along a line inclined from 40? to 70? from the horizontal plane. The leading edge of the blade is inclined anteroventrally on the downstroke and anterodorsally on the upstroke, and the tip of the blade usually inscribes a figure 8.

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract 1. 1. An intermediate morphotype between Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta was studied in Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil. 2. 2. Three enzymatic systems were successfully analyzed: SOD, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and esterase (EST). Isoelectric focusing of total soluble proteins of muscle and transferrin were shown. 3.

Ovarian follicular development in the hawksbill turtle (Cheloniidae: Eretmochelys imbricata L.)
Journal of Morphology, 2012AbstractOvarian follicular development is an essential process in the determination of maturation stages associated with size. This association acquires importance when managing populations of threatened species. We histologically processed 11 prepubescent ovaries, four pubescent ovaries, and one breeding adult ovary with vitellogenic follicles using ...
