Thesis Abstract Morphological and phylogeographic analysis of Brazilian tortoises (Testudinidae)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015 The discriminative potentials of biogeography, vocalization, morphology, cytogenetics, hemoglobin, and molecular profiling of cytochrome b as taxonomic techniques for differentiating Brazilian tortoises were evaluated in this study. In Brazil, two species of tortoises are described, Chelonoidis carbonarius and Chelonoidis denticulatus.

Lizards and amphisbaenians (Reptilia, Squamata) from the middle Eocene of Mazaterón (Soria, Spain)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1753-1768, June 2025.Abstract The assemblage of lizards and amphisbaenians (Reptilia, Squamata) from the middle Eocene locality of Mazaterón (Spain) is described. Considering the rather limited material available for the study, the assemblage shows a moderate diversity with eight taxa corresponding to five different families.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1659-1676, June 2025.Abstract Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies.

The padloper’s tortuous path (Chelonia: Testudinidae): Two genera, not one
African Journal of Herpetology, 2018 Since 1957, all padlopers were considered Homopus, which was an anomaly, because only two species have four claws on the front and hind limbs. The revival of the genus Chersobius for the five-toed species (signatus, boulengeri and solus) now limits Homopus to the four-toed species (areolatus and femoralis).

Rio Juruá: site 29 of Price’s expedition, and the first record of a Sebecidae (Notosuchia) for the Brazilian Solimões Formation [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe Solimões Formation is one of the most fossiliferous units of the Neogene to Pleistocene of South America. Its rocks represent fluvial lacustrine Paleo-Amazon environments providing a rich record of paleovertebrate remains, including fishes (e.g ...

Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyThe anatomy of North American tortoises is poorly understood, despite a rich fossil record from the Eocene and younger strata. Stylemys nebrascensis is a particularly noteworthy turtle in this regard, as hundreds of specimens are known from Oligocene ...
