A Review of the Fossil Record of Turtles of the Clades Platychelyidae and Dortokidae

In: Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, 2015, vol. 56, no. 1, p. 3–20

The fossil record of platychelyid turtles expands from the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) of Cuba to the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) of Colombia. Platychelyids were adapted to freshwater to coastal environments. Current phylogenies confidently suggest that platychelyids are situated along the stem lineage of crown Pleurodira. A taxonomic review of the group concludes that of six named...
