Large Pleistocene tortoise tracks on the Cape south coast of South Africa

Quaternary Research, 2022
Although tortoises (Testudinidae) are a familiar clade of reptiles, with a body fossil record extending to at least the Eocene, hitherto no tortoise ichnosites have been described. Here, a number of sites attributed to tortoise trackmakers are identified
