  • A New Xinjiangchelyid Turtle from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China and the Evolution of the Basipterygoid Process in Mesozoic Turtles Rabi Et Al
    A new xinjiangchelyid turtle from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China and the evolution of the basipterygoid process in Mesozoic turtles Rabi et al. Rabi et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:203 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/203 Rabi et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:203 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/203 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A new xinjiangchelyid turtle from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China and the evolution of the basipterygoid process in Mesozoic turtles Márton Rabi1,2*, Chang-Fu Zhou3, Oliver Wings4, Sun Ge3 and Walter G Joyce1,5 Abstract Background: Most turtles from the Middle and Late Jurassic of Asia are referred to the newly defined clade Xinjiangchelyidae, a group of mostly shell-based, generalized, small to mid-sized aquatic froms that are widely considered to represent the stem lineage of Cryptodira. 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.

Among the vertebrates, the turtles were proved quite diverse, with several specimens retrieved and five valid species described to this date for the Romualdo Fm.

  • New Material and a Revision of Turtles of the Genus Adocus (Adocidae) from the Late Cretaceous of Middle Asia and Kazakhstan
    Proceedings of the Zoological Institute RAS Vol. 313, No. 1, 2009, рр. 74–94 УДК 568.132:56(116)(5) NEW MATERIAL AND A REVISION OF TURTLES OF THE GENUS ADOCUS (ADOCIDAE) FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MIDDLE ASIA AND KAZAKHSTAN E.V. Syromyatnikova and I.G. Danilov* Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya Emb., 1, St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper reviews shell material of the turtle genus Adocus (Adocidae) from the Late Cretaceous of Middle Asia and Kazakhstan. Three previously recognized species of Adocus from this area are described in detail based on published and new material. The previously recognized species are A. aksary (Dzharakuduk, Uzbekistan; late Turonian), A. foveatus (Kansai, Tajikistan; early Santonian), and A. kizylkumensis (Khodzhakul, Khodzhakulsay and Sheikhdzheili, Uzbekistan; early Cenomanian). Material of additional forms of Adocus are described, two of these are named as new species: Adocus dzhurtasensis, sp. nov. (Dzhurtas, Kazakhstan; Santonian – early Campanian), Adocus bostobensis, sp. nov. (Akkurgan, Baybishe, Buroinak, and Shakh-Shakh, Kazakhstan; Santonian – early Campanian), and Adocus sp. indet. (Itemir, Uzbekistan; Cenomanian). Key words: Adocus, Asia, Late Cretaceous, turtles РЕЗЮМЕ В работе ревизуются панцирные материалы по черепахам рода Adocus (Adocidae) из позднего мела Средней Азии и Казахстана. На основе опубликованных и новых материалов детально описываются три вида адокусов, известных ранее из этого региона: A. aksary (Джаракудук, Узбекистан; поздний ту- рон), A. foveatus (Кансай, Таджикистан; ранний сантон) и A. kizylkumensis (Ходжакуль, Ходжакульсай и Шейхджейли, Узбекистан; ранний сеноман). Кроме того, описывается материал по дополнительным формам адокусов, две из которых устанавливаются в качестве новых видов: Adocus dzhurtasensis, sp.

A complex taphonomic history is shown by a tern Europe. A new genus and species of Late Jurassic turtle, range of overlying grazing traces and bioerosion on the cara- Hispaniachelys prebetica gen. et sp. nov. from the upper Ox- pace. The carapace was subsequently overturned and buried fordian of the Prebetic (Southern Spain), is described on the ventrally up, terminating grazing activity, and was then bored basis of postcranial material. The specimen is the only known by sponges before final burial. Scanning electron microscopy tetrapod from the Mesozoic of the Prebetic and the oldest reveals phosphatic microspheroids associated with bacterial turtle from southern Europe.

  • New Material and Phylogenetic Position of Adocus Bostobensis, a Poorly Known Adocid Turtle from the Late Cretaceous of Kazakhstan
    Proceedings of the Zoological Institute RAS Vol. 317, No. 2, 2013, рр. 195–201 УДК 568.132:56(116)(5) NEW MATERIAL AND PHYLOGENETIC POSITION OF ADOCUS BOSTOBENSIS, A POORLY KNOWN ADOCID TURTLE FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF KAZAKHSTAN E.V. Syromyatnikova and I.G. Danilov* Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya Emb. 1, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia; e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a description of a new material of Adocus bostobensis, a poorly known adocid turtle from the Late Cretaceous of Kazakhstan. The new material of A. bostobensis comes from the Bostobe Formation (Santonian – early Campanian) of Shakh-Shakh II locality (northeastern Aral Sea area, Kazakhstan) and includes about 30 shell fragments and several elements of non-shell postcrania, potentially, from a single individual. This material allows us to reveal some previously unknown characters of Adocus bostobensis, improve its diagnosis and include this species in a phylogenetic analysis of Adocusia (Adocidae + Nanhsiungchelyidae) for the first time. The phylogenetic analysis places A. bostobensis in a clade with A. aksary and A. amtgai (both from the Late Cretaceous of Asia). Finally, our study demonstrates presence of at least two different lineages of Adocus (A. bostobensis and A. foveatus) in the Santonian of Western Asia. Key words: Adocidae, Adocus, Asia, Late Cretaceous, Kazakhstan, turtles НОВЫЙ МАТЕРИАЛ И ФИЛОГЕНЕТИЧЕСКОЕ ПОЛОЖЕНИЕ ADOCUS BOSTOBENSIS, ПЛОХО ИЗВЕСТНОЙ АДОЦИДНОЙ ЧЕРЕПАХИ ИЗ ПОЗДНЕГО МЕЛА КАЗАХСТАНА Е.В.

Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center, Department of Geological Sciences, California State University, Fullerton, CA 92834, USA; [email protected]. Recent studies suggested that many fossil marine turtles might not be closely related to extant marine turtles (Che- lonioidea). The uncertainty surrounding the origin and phylogenetic position of fossil marine turtles impacts our understanding of turtle evolution and complicates our attempts to develop and justify fossil calibrations for molecular divergence dating.
