Turtles of the clade Testudinoidea have a rather scarce fossil record in Afro-Arabia, ranging
from the late Eocene up to the Quaternary. The vast majority of testudinoid fossils from Afro …

The deposits of the Chorrillo Formation (Maastrichtian) were accumulated during a
'continental window'that occurred during the Late Cretaceous in the Austral-Magallanes …

Turtles are a charismatic reptile group with a peculiar body plan, which most notably
includes the shell. Anatomists have often focused descriptive efforts on the shell and other …

Turtles are relatively species-poor, but anatomically very distinct from other reptiles, which
yields longstanding debates about their origin among amniotes. On the other hand, an …

We describe the skull of the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) baenid turtle Trinitichelys hiatti
using micro-computed tomography to provide new insights into the cranial anatomy of basal …

Abstract We study the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) turtle Uluops uluops using micro-computed
tomography scans to investigate the cranial anatomy of paracryptodires, and provide new …

Abstract The Pliocene–Pleistocene transition in the Neotropics is poorly understood despite
the major climatic changes that occurred at the onset of the Quaternary. The San Gregorio …

Late Jurassic deposits across Europe have yielded a rich fauna of extinct turtles. Although
many of these turtles are recovered from marine deposits, it is unclear which of these taxa …

Trionychid (softshell) turtles have a peculiar bauplan, which includes shell reductions and
cranial elongation. Despite a rich fossil record dating back to the Early Cretaceous, the …
