Xinjiangchelyids provide us with great insights into the plesiomorphic anatomy of crown-cryptodires, the most diverse group of living turtles, and they are particularly relevant for understanding the origin and early divergence of the primary clades of extant turtles. Results: Exceptionally complete new xinjiangchelyid material from the ?Qigu Formation of the Turpan Basin (Xinjiang Autonomous Province, China) provides new insights into the anatomy of this group and is assigned to Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. A phylogenetic analysis places Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. in a monophyletic polytomy with other xinjiangchelyids, including Xinjiangchelys junggarensis, X. radiplicatoides, X. levensis and X. latiens. However, the analysis supports the unorthodox, though tentative placement of xinjiangchelyids and sinemydids outside of crown-group Testudines. A particularly interesting new observation is that the skull of this xinjiangchelyid retains such primitive features as a reduced interpterygoid vacuity and basipterygoid processes.

Marcos Jannello 2018 Resumen Las inusuales estructuras óseas observadas entre los vertebrados, como el cuello largo de la jirafa o el cráneo en forma de T del tiburón martillo, han interesado a los científicos desde hace mucho tiempo. Uno de estos casos es el clado Testudinata el cual representa uno de los grupos más fascinantes y enigmáticos conocidos entre de los amniotas. Su inconfundible plan corporal, que ha persistido desde el Triásico tardío hasta la actualidad, se caracteriza por la presencia del caparazón, el cual encierra a las cinturas, tanto pectoral como pélvica, dentro de la caja torácica desarrollada. Esta estructura les ha permitido a las tortugas adaptarse con éxito a diversos ambientes (por ejemplo, terrestres, acuáticos continentales, marinos costeros e incluso marinos pelágicos). Su capacidad para habitar diferentes nichos ecológicos, su importante diversidad taxonómica y su plan corporal particular hacen de los Testudinata un modelo de estudio muy atrayente dentro de los vertebrados. Una disciplina que ha demostrado ser una herramienta muy importante para abordar varios temas relacionados al caparazón de las tortugas, es la paleohistología. Esta disciplina se ha involucrado en temas diversos tales como el origen del caparazón, el origen del desarrollo y mantenimiento de la ornamentación, la paleoecología y la sistemática.

    DESCRIPTIONS OF EIGHT NEW SPECIES OF FOSSIL TURTLES FROM WEST OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH MERIDIAN. By Oliver P. Hay, Of Washington, District of Columbia. The new species of fossil turtles described on the following pages were collected during the summer of 1900 by members of the U. S. Geological Survey. Dr. T. W. Stanton, Mr. M. R. Campbell, and Mr. W. R. Calvert, working in Upper Cretaceous areas whose de- posits are quite certainly equivalent to the Lance (Ceratops) beds of Wyoming, discovered the remains here described as Basilemys />rse- clara and Aspideretes amnigenus. Mr. J. H. Gardner discovered, in the Ignacio quadrangle, La Plata County, Colorado, the complete plastron named below Alamosemys annexa. It seems uncertain to what formation the beds belong, but this turtle indicates that they are the equivalent of the Torrejon deposits of New Mexico. Later in the season, Mr. Gardner, accompanied by Mr. J. W. Gidley, of the U. S. National Museum, spent two days in the vicinity of Ojo Alamo? San Juan County, New Mexico. In this region they found two' dis- tinct formations. In the lower, composed of sandstones, clays, and a bed of conglomerate, there were found fragmentary remains of dinosaurs and the turtles below described as Basilemys nobilis&nd Adocus vigoratus, together with considerable parts of Aspideretes vorax'l and unidentifiable fragments of other Trionychidse. These beds are probably the equivalents of the Lance Creek beds. Above these dinosaur-bearing deposits came a deposit of conglomerate, about 12 feet thick at most. Succeeding this are other beds of sandstone and clay, in which were found no remains except those of the turtles described below as Compsemys vafer and Hoploc/tehjs bicat'itiata, and probably Compsemys parva.
