The extended continental South American turtle record (Norian to
Lujanian) allows us to follow the evolution of this reptile clade
from its origins. Several significant stem turtle taxa such as:
Palaeochersis talampayensis and Condorchelys antiqua provide
information on the first steps of turtle evolution. Others such as:
Chubutemys copelloi or Patagoniaemys gasparinae provide clues to
the origin of the bizarre horned tortoises of the clade
Meiolaniidae. The panpleurodiran species such as Notoemys
laticentralis or Notoemys zapatocaensis shed light on the origin of
modern pleurodiran turtles. This book explores aquatic and
terrestrial cryptodiran turtles, South Gondwanan pleurodiran
turtles, North Gondwanan Pleurodiran turtles, Meiolaniforms and
early differentiation of Mesozoic turtles.
