Tortugas del Cretácico Inferior (Hauteriviense-Barremiense) de La Rioja (Cuenca de Cameros, España)

Abstract

The information about the turtles from the Early Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula is, until now, very poor. We describe here three specimens found in the Lower Cretaceous (Hauterivian-Barremian) of La Rioja, of at least two different taxa, being one of them Salasemys pulcherrima. This study provides new data on the representatives ofthe Spanish Fucryptodiran turtles
