A new member of Taphrosphyini (Pleurodira, Bothremydidae) from the Maastrichtian of Niger
Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2019Abstract A new pleurodiran turtle, corresponding to a bothremydid Taphrosphyini, is described in this paper. This form, Ilatardia cetiotesta gen. et sp. nov., is represented by a large skull, with a length of about 20 cm. It is one of the few Mesozoic representatives of Taphrosphyini known by the skull.

Oldest world Chelidae (Chelonii, Pleurodira), from the Cretaceous of Patagonia, Argentina
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IIA - Earth and Planetary Science, 2001Abstract Four new taxa are described. Three of them are attributed to the extant Phrynops group: a primitive member, unidentified within the group or related to the large extant Phrynops forms; a primitive member of the Acanthochelys subgroup, small extant members of the group; a more evolved member, although still primitive, of the large ...

New bothremydid turtle (Testudines, Pleurodira) from the Paleocene of northeastern Colombia
Journal of Paleontology, 2012A new turtle, Puentemys mushaisaensis, from the middle to late Paleocene Cerrejón Formation of Colombia, is described on the basis of a partial skull and many partial to nearly complete carapaces and plastrons representing multiple ontogenetic stages. Whereas P.

A Review of Neurals in Chelidae (Testudines: Pleurodira) with Reference to Phylogeny of the Family
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2019Abstract This study investigated the vertebral carapace structure of some Australian chelids to compare the skeletal anatomy of taxa that do not routinely have neurals with those that do.

A new bothremydid turtle (Pleurodira) from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Madagascar
Cretaceous Research, 2021Abstract The find of a partial shell of a pleurodiran turtle from the Cenomanian (basal Upper Cretaceous) of Madagascar was reported in the 1980s. It was then referred to as a potential member of the bothremydid Bothremys, but it has remained unpublished until now.

A New Species of Chelodina (Testudines: Pleurodira: Chelidae) from Northern Australia
Journal of Herpetology, 2002A new species of long-necked turtle from the Chelodina longicollis group is described from northern Australia; the species Chelodina novaeguineae is restricted to southern New Guinea. The new species differs from its New Guinea counterpart in being a larger species with a broader shell and wider plastron, the skull having paired premaxillae and a ...

Journal of Natural History, 1995
Polystomoides scottae n. sp. is described from the urinary and accessory bladders of Chelodina expansa. Four species of Neopolystoma are described from the conjunctival sacs of Australian freshwater turtles (Chelidae): Neopolystoma cribbi n. sp. from Emydura signata, E. macquarii, Elseya latisternum and Chelodina expansa; Neopolystoma spratti n.

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The mitochondrial genome of Podocnemis unifilis (Pleurodira: Podocnemididae) is 16,493 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A+T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 61.7% (T: 27.7%, C: 25.5%, A: 34.0%, G: 12.8%). ATP6, ATP8, CO3, ND4-6 and Cyt b genes begin

Zoology, 2006
Amniote egg and eggshell morphology is a rich source of characters to link aspects of reproductive biology with systematics. Extensive work concerning both anatomy and phylogenetic assignability has been done on fossil bird and dinosaur eggs, but little is known for extant sauropsids.

New Information about Pelomedusoides (Testudines: Pleurodira) from the Cretaceous of Brazil
2012Brazilian turtle remains date from the Cretaceous and have been recovered from in 11 different basins. Two of these are of particular importance because of the richness of species and specimens: Araripe (Early Cretaceous) and Bauru (Late Cretaceous). Here we present information based on new material that adds to our understanding of the diversity of ...
