The ecomorphology of the shell of extant turtles and its applications for fossil turtles. [PDF]
Turtles are a successful clade of reptiles that originated in the Late Triassic. The group adapted during its evolution to different types of environments, ranging from dry land to ponds, rivers, and the open ocean, and survived all Mesozoic and Cenozoic

Abstract Pleurodires are less diverse than cryptodires, together forming the two major lineages of crown turtles. Their fossil record, however, is rich. A particularly large number of fossil pleurodires, many belonging to the Podocnemidoidae, has been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Bauru Group outcrops of south‐central Brazil.

The parabasisphenoid complex in Mesozoic turtles and the evolution of the testudinate basicranium
During the early development of turtles and other amniotes, the parabasisphenoid, or basisphenoid s.l., is formed by at least two centers of ossification: the endochondral basisphenoid s.s. and the dermal parasphenoid.

The record of coastal marine turtles belonging to Plesiochelyidae is abundant in the Late Jurassic of Portugal. The material analyzed thus far has been attributed to two taxa: Plesiochelys and Craspedochelys.
