Rhinochelys is an extinct genus ofsea turtles belonging to the familyProtostegidae.

Fossil records

[edit]

Fossils ofRhinochelys have been found in Late Albian to middle Cenomanian-age marine deposits of southern England, Lebanon, and France.[1][2]

Species

[edit]

Three species ofRhinochelys are recognized:[1][3]

  • Rhinochelys pulchriceps(Owen, 1851)
  • Rhinochelys amabertiMoret, 1935
  • Rhinochelys nammourensisTong, Hirayama, Makhoul & Escuillie, 2006[4]

Rhinochelys cantabrigiensis andR. elegans, both named by Richard Lydekker in 1889, are recovered by Scavezzoni and Fischer (2018) as closer toDesmatochelys than toRhinochelys and possibly are not congeneric withRhinochelys.[1]
