“…For the sake of simplicity, we maintain the status quo. Broin (1994) and Lapparent de tentatively associated several specimens from the Late Jurassic of France with Solnhofia parsonsi. Given that these specimens demand more preparation and further study, we here await a more detailed description to evaluate this claim but confirm the general affinity of this material with Solnhofia parsonsi.…”

“…Eurysternum sp. is signaled from the Tithonian of Canjuers in southeastern France, but preliminary investigations suggest that this is probably a distinct species (Broin 1994). Solnhofia parsonsi is known primarily based on specimens from the late Kimmeridgian and Tithonian of Bavaria (Parsons and Williams 1961;Joyce 2000), but this species is also mentioned in the late Kimmeridgian of Solothurn, Switzerland , although there are some concerns regarding this assignment .…”

“…Solnhofia sp. is signaled in the late Kimmeridgian of southwestern / 11 62 POSTPRINT France (Lapparent de Broin et al 1996) and in the Tithonian of Canjuers, southeastern France (Broin 1994). Finally, Idiochelys fitzingeri is known in the late Kimmeridgian of the southern Jura Mountains in France (Jourdan 1862;Rütimeyer 1873a;Lortet 1892) and in the early Tithonian of Bavaria (Meyer 1839a(Meyer , 1839b(Meyer , 1840a(Meyer , 1840b(Meyer , 1854(Meyer , 1860Wagner 1853Wagner , 1861b.…”

“…His main argument for this referral was the presence of lateral plastral fontanelles, a feature he supposed to be absent in Thalassemys hugii but considered diagnostic of "Eurysternidae." Eurysternum ignoratum was mostly overlooked by subsequent workers, with the exception of Broin (1994) and Lapparent de , who tentatively suggested a possible synonymy between Eurysternum ignoratum and Solnhofia parsonsi. However, Anquetin, Püntener and Billon-Bruyat / 43 62 POSTPRINT (2014) recently revealed that lateral plastral fontanelles were also present in Thalassemys hugii and concluded that Eurysternum ignoratum was a junior synonym of this species.…”

“…These turtles were extensively studied during the second part of the 19th century and early parts of the 20th century (e.g., Wagner 1861b; Rütimeyer 1873aRütimeyer , 1873bZittel 1877aZittel , 1877bLydekker 1889b;Oertel 1915Oertel , 1924, but taxonomic conclusions varied greatly. After a substantial hiatus, the group has received more attention recently (e.g., Parsons and Williams 1961;Wellnhofer 1967;Broin 1994;Joyce 2000Joyce , 2003Anquetin and Joyce 2014), but a global revision of the group beyond what is being presented herein is still needed.…”

POSTPRINTThis is a postprint of the following peer-reviewed publication: AbstractThe Late Jurassic (Oxfordian to Tithonian) fossil record of Europe and South America has yielded a particularly rich assemblage of aquatic pan-cryptodiran turtles that are herein tentatively hypothesized to form a monophyletic group named Thalassochelydia. Thalassochelydians were traditionally referred to three families, Eurysternidae, Plesiochelyidae, and Thalassemydidae, but the current understanding of phylogenetic relationships is insufficient to support the monophyly of either group. Given their pervasive usage in the literature, however, these three names are herein retained informally. Relationships with marine turtles from the Cretaceous have been suggested in the past, but these hypotheses still lack strong character support. Thalassochelydians are universally found in near-shore marine sediments and show adaptations to aquatic habitats, but isotopic evidence hints at a broad spectrum of specializations ranging from freshwater aquatic to fully marine. A taxonomic review of the group concludes that of 68 named taxa, 27 are nomina valida, 18 are nomina invalida, 18 are nomina dubia, and 5 nomina oblita.

A new pancryptodiran turtle from the Late Jurassic of Poland and palaeobiology of early marine turtles

2017

Although Western Europe has yielded numerous Jurassic turtle taxa, several represented by cranial material or complete skeletons, the fossil record of the Jurassic turtles remains scarce to the north and east from Germany. Although some Late Jurassic testudinates were historically described from Poland, they were, thus far, represented by fragmentary remains that never were properly figured or described in detail. Therefore, very little is known about the mid‐Mesozoic diversity of turtles in that region of the continent. A new pancryptodiran turtle genus and species, Owadowia borsukbialynickae, is described from the uppermost Jurassic (Tithonian, ca. 148 Ma) carbonate sediments of the Kcynia Formation in Owadów‐Brzezinki Quarry, near Tomaszów Mazowiecki in central Poland. The lower jaw morphology and palaeoecological setting inhabited by the new genus and species, together with the trophic relationships of the Jurassic pancryptodiran turtles, are discussed in an attempt to determine the potential range of mode of life of O. borsukbialynickae. We propose that the new specimen belongs to a new durophagous pancryptodiran turtle taxon. O. borsukbialynickae might have spent considerable time in the marine environment and specialized on eating hard‐shelled invertebrates like bivalves and decapod crustaceans, common to that setting.
