Kinosternon arizonense is an extinct species of mud turtle in the genus Kinosternon.[1] Initially described by Charles W. Gilmore in 1922. In 2016 McCord examined available Pliocene material of K. arizonense and concluded that the fossil material differs significantly from the extant turtles.[1][2] Joyce and Bourque (2016) concurred.[1][3] Rhodin et al. (2017), listed Kinosternon arizonense as extinct.[1]
