From HandWiki
Palaeochersis is an extinct genus of rhaptochelydian turtle[1] from the Los Colorados Formation of Argentina.[2] It is known from one species, Palaeochersis talampayensis.[3]
Discovery and naming
Palaeochersis talampayensis is known from three specimens: PULR 68 (holotype), a skull and postcranium. PULR 69, a right tarsus and pes, and PULR 72, a skull. The three specimens were each collected together in 1992[2] within the Los Colorados Formation, Argentina.[3][4]
Palaeochersis talampayensis was then named and described by Rougier, de la Fuente & Arcucci (1995).[3]
Classification
Palaeochersis was part of the Australochelyidae, being the sister taxon to Australochelys.[1][5]
